<VV> 65 Monza 110hp engine question

[FrankDuVal]

NNNOOOO!!!!!!

1/2 inch reach is correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corvair (all engines) used 44FF or 46FF originally. Now all you can get 
is single F suffix.

AC 46N was the 3/4" reach spark plug for inline Chevrolet sixes.

Corvair NEVER used 3/4" reach.
