Need hotter plug than ASF42C
I have a 1983 ford van with a 351 engine. The standard
plug is a ASF42C. The last 2 times the van started acting up I looked at the plugs first and they had the black sutty look, which indicates a possible need for a hotter plug. Before spending
money on new electrics i would rather first try a hotter plug.
Please give me a suggestion on what plug would be slightly hotter so I can give that a try first..
Thanks..

I agree, fuel is getting to expensive to be wasting it. What type of carb do you have? It might need a rebuild.
PS If you have been running it very long like this, your catalytic convertor is probably ruined.
