    I will soon be installing a set of 049 heads on a basically stock hardin marine BBC 325hp version. It currently has the smog peanut heads on it and the cam is probably factory also, I will be running a RPM airgap with a holley marine 750 vac secondary carb. What I would like to get info on is what spark plug would be a good starting point for this combo?? Oh it has a dual point with super stock coil for ignition.

    i would run NGK: BPR4ES or BPR5ES...good choice for manif & carb...i would chng the cam & run the Comp Cams 270H or 280H hyd (non roller)...both good cams...i would get rid of the points distributer & run a stock HEI & lock out the advance...far less trouble (no points to set)...this is basically what i run in my 427 BBC except for the carb (Edelbrock 800) & ign (i run a mag)...this would really wake the mtr up...also...gasket match the manif to the heads...just my .02 cents

    how do you lock out the advance on an HEI, and what does it do.
