Several questions, still learning...

Hey guys I have a few questions for you GURUs out there...so far the site is helping me so much...I have a 63 SWB C10 283 3 spd on Floor, now. I am throwing in a Pertronix stock Look distributor and coil(my HEI would not go in). Any recommendations on brand and type of plug? I was looking at NGK Xr4s but not sure..question 2 ..Best place to buy Cross sills and reinforcing sill and do I need both the 72" and the shorter one for between the wheel wells? Is it worth looking for used ones? question3..lol...anyone ever use the MAR K repair patch for the wheel wells or the inner bed? Thank you in advance..Gerard in almost warm Ontario

I like NGK plugs. Best out there imop besides Bosch. The NGK's you mentioned would be fine I'm sure. Heck if people are running crappy auto lights in their engines and they run fine I'm sure those NGK's will be awesome. lol

Re: Several questions, still learning...

General rule of thumb

NGK=Import car
Bosch=European car
Autolite or AC Delco+ American

I used Autolites for years, but have been running AC Delco plugs for the past few. I like the AC Delco's much better.

Re: Several questions, still learning...

I'm just wondering why the HEI didn't fit. I have never had a problem with it.
