    Oh, sorry bout that.
    Flat top pistons, 91 octane here at sea level in so. Calif.

    Is it advisable to run a hotter plug with aluminum heads?

    The last number on the Autolite plug part number it the heat range, so you need to run three or four un the heat range.. I would start out three first and if the motor skip little while driving the step up one number until it runs smooth. If you are running a 350 to got 10:1 compression.

    Great, thanks Racecar.

    Now maybe you can tell me what a good total timing starting point would be.
