Since the TA head was designed to use plugs with a gasket, generally after the plug makes contact with the head, a 1/8th turn more should seat the plug ok.

What nick said, and don't forget a dab of anti sieze.

What's a good plug to use for 93 and alky for the street?

And how about E85?

I have access to both now here in ATL just haven't decided which.

Thanks

autolite 23

Not sure about the E85 haven't gone there yet. Might ask Nick.

Was using the Autolites but Ive now switched to NGK's per Nick. Forget what heat range I went with.

NGK 6466 is a good resistor plug for TA heads its a basic style production plug that works well. A NGK racing non resistor plug non ext reach with cut back ground strap plug is a 5671-7. Some can get away with -8 on the street but may glaze and slight foul with corn.

In a few cases the non resistor plugs can cause issue with the ecm. Most are fine tho

No anti sieze.... alittle oil on the threads is good

I can't find the 6466 on NGK's web site. Can you double check that number, please? Thanks.
