1984 Crusader 350 - Spark Plug Recommendations
What I pulled out were Champion RV8C plugs - put in by PO
The RV8Cs were pretty black (of course, I have no idea how long there installed.
So, what are your recommendations?

I wouldn't base any decisions as to heat range based on those plugs being black if that is what you are inferring. You really can't take a definitive plug reading on an older carbed engine that has been just idling around.

Cooler your engines are much newer with a different ignition system I think, unless the ops have been upgraded.
These kind of spark plugs are fairly cheap, so very good to change regularly. Good job keeping up with the maintenance.
