<VV> 65 Monza 110hp engine question

[hank kaczmarek]

I still prefer the Bosch W8AC---The Beetle Plug.  Getting hard to find though.  I have a set of 44 FF’s though.  Don’t recommend the 44F—it’s a Marine Plug and I tried them once.   DIdn’t seem to work as well.

My books list the AC 44FF as the standard plug for 1965 Corvairs with the
110 and 140 hp engines,  The AC 44F is 14 mm dia and 1/2" reach with 3/8
thread length.  The AC 44FF is a full thread type with all 1/2" reach
threaded and the AC 44FFS is full threaded 14 mm with extended tip.
Personally I prefer the NGK   BR6HS.
