Correct style of BF32 spark plugs
« on: December 23, 2024, 08:23:37 PM »
I have a few dozen NOS BF32 plugs and have noticed two variations:  one has 5 ribs towards the tip of the plugs and other have 3 ribs.  Attached is a photo of the two variations.  Both are Autolite plugs and have star logos.  Was there a version of these that were used on the assembly line for a July 1,66 projected build HP Conv with engine assembly of 2/9/66? 
66 K code Conv GT red/red deluxe 4 spd

3 rib is much earlier then 1965. You want the 5 rib for 65 and up.
