RE: [Chrysler300] Spark Plugs

["rfporecca" <rfporecca@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the subject of plugs, I still have my dad's '68 300 with its original
440-4v.it used to call for Champion J13Y.recently on a tune up I installed
J12y,,,are the J13y's no longer out there?  I couldn't get them locally
anywhere.  Any one know about the J13y's?  Car runs well on 12's, and with
81K  miles is a STILL a great ride..

 

Thanks!

Hi, Jonny:

Can you be more specific about the year and application of your 413?  

According to my files, A42 is equivalent to a Champion J12Y (the lower the 
Champion number the cooler the plug, it's ability to transfer heat resulting

from combustion to the cylinder head quicker than a "hotter" plug. Cooler
plugs 
are used in high performance engines.) 

Champion specs for a 413 list a RJ14Y for standard applications and a RJ11Y
for 
high performance applications. A J10Y or A32 is recommended for a 1959 300E.

For your info:

R = Resistor plug
J = First prefix letter for thread size - thread reach (3/8 inch) and hex
size 
( 13/16 inch)
14 = Heat Range
Y = Gap style - protruding nose

Since R,J and Y are given for a 413, the heat range is determined by 
application. If you run your 300 frequently at high speeds, a cooler plug is

recommended. If you drive the car occasionally, I would suggest a hotter
plug.

Please advise the year, car and carburation: 1 or 2 4-barrel carburators.
Maybe 
we can zero in on the right heat range for you.

Other, more experienced club members may have additional or better
information.

Best regards,

Hi group,
Some time ago,spark plugs questions has been asked,guess I delete them.
However,the 413 engine specifications says Auto-Lite A-32 or Champion J-12Y.
I have a package of Auto-Lite A-42. Can I use them? or what is your choice 
today.
