peanut head plugs

RJRENTON said
Gentlemen,
Why not use accurate descriptions in your inquiry ,
There are only two types of plugs used: taper seat plugs (1/2" reach) mid '70's head design or gasket seat plugs (3/4" reach) that use a aluminum spark plug tubes and an O ring seal to prevent oil leaks....similar to the 426 Hemi head design. If using this design, remove the gasket on the spark plugs. Actual plug brand or heat ranges....can be what ever.....Champion (N12Y etc), Autolite (AG52 etc), AC 45XLS etc, or what ever the NGK boys presently like or use or insist are the "best".
Let's drop the childish descriptions.....peanut plugs and drool tubes. Heat ranges and reach length MUST BE DETERMINED by the owner...or do your own do diligence. ..don't take someone else's opinion......just my thoughts .....

Bob,
Thanks for the input, but many of us here are far from experts. We might not have a clue how to figure out our ideal reach and heat range. We just want a plug that is going to work. So we ask questions and make decisions based on the answers we get. Maybe those answers are fact, maybe opinions. But it's what we have to go on. If someone's advice works out, I am inclined to listen to them again...​
About those head types - The purpose of a name is to reference what you are talking about without describing it in detail every time. 'Drool tube' and 'peanut head' seam to be accepted names that fulfill that need. I don't see how they are 'childish, not that it matters...
my 2 cents… Keith
