Plug Number 63 413

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I had an old set of Autolites that were an obsolete number. Yesterday another 
IML'er asked the number for the 413, but I wanted to provide a current number, 
so I called my parts supplier and he gave me the "75" for the '59-'65 413. 
Interestingly in Champion, there were two numbers that would fit, one was a 
"high performance" plug. I gave the IML'er all of the numbers and recommended 
that he check a tune up parts Web site to verify the numbers. I haven't heard 
that the "75" wasn't the right one for that car. I suspect that possibly a "75" 
is the standard plug, and that the "85" may be a hotter plug. It is also 
possible that the parts guy was completely wrong. 

Back in the "old days" if an engine was a little worn, but ran good, we would 
run a "hotter plug" to postpone the inevitable oil fowling. I am now thinking 
that I may have bought "85"s for a '65 Chrysler 300 Coupe that I used to have.
