Default Looking to cross reference an Autolite racing plug with an NGK plug
Here's the cross reference chart but I don't see a listing for an NGK TR55 or TR6. Looking for an Autolite racing plug for a CR ~11.6:1. Anyone using the Autolite racing plugs? Thanx

The gaskets are used for indexing correct? I figured since the electrode was cut back on the 103's it would be unnecessary since the spark was almost unshrouded.

^ It depends on the head style. Factory heads (IIRC) call for a tapered seat plug while many aftermarkets (I know my DART's and my buddy's TFS heads) call for a gasket seat plug. We both ran tapered plugs to only find out we should have been using gasket plugs Did not damage the heads though (from what we could tell).

No one seems to have AR104's. Only AR103's.

I've tried Summit, Jegs, NAPA, Advanced Auto, and even sparkplug.com.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanx

AR94 would be the one I would run. In fact, it is the one I run.

Is it tapered to fit the stock GM head? And what's the heat range?

Just curious on why you are running that plug? That is the plug I run in my race car with 900hp worth of nitrous... it's a pretty cold plug.

Yes, they are the tapered fit plugs for the factory GM head. I use them in my Stocker and Super Stocker. They are great plugs for our application and the proper heat range.

These are gasket seat plugs and not the tapered seat plugs for a factory GM LT1 head. They don't fit properly.

The problem with those plugs is they are non resistor plugs. Thought these were no recommended for daily drivers.
