351C Spark Plug?

Hey all, I have a '62 F-100 4X4 with a 351C, 4bbl Edelbrock intake with a Holly Carb (4160 IIRC). Bought it in '97. Getting ready to do a tune up on it.
Since this engine didn't come with this truck it's not 100% easy to look up parts for it, I've been looking up a 71 Torino for no reason other than this engine does have a points dizzy in it.

What's a good plug, brand and size, for this engine? I pulled an old one out, but it's a Splitfire, , so here I am....

Well, believe it or not, I have found the non-plat splitfires to work best in the 60's/70's engines.

.. If it's the same 5/8" socket size plugs as a 351M/400, can use Autolite 25 or Champion RV15YC in an engine in good condition... hotter-running Champion RV19YC (now made back in USA again) last long time in a worn oil-burner engine... usually about 99c... can get in Platinum with $2/plug Champion rebate if still on...
