what heads? autolite 24's are perfect for stock heads, either those or 25's...

Back in the day I had a set of Edelbrock heads on my stang and I had the same problem.I was putting Autolite 24's in it when I should have been using 3924's.When I put the correct plug in there was a bigtime difference in power.

Was it posting here that help you find that problem?... ![[Confused]](confused.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I'm happy for you that it is only the plugs...It's the opposite for me, I find coolant leaks that turn into blown head gaskets.... ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
