Could these plugs be original 1969 spark plugs ?
Permalink  

I'm going to replace these plugs but I am not going to throw these plugs away.

I showed the old plugs to an engine builder today he was amazed by the quality of the construction of the old plug.

They weigh a lot more than the NKGs

They are gapped a tight .35

They are from that era but I don't think they used the "n" shaped plugs in 69 chevy engines.

I know that US Pontiac's switched to the "N" shaped plugs midway through the 71 model year.

 huh?

Heat ranges aside, USA-Pontiacs used R45S as the standard plug for 1969 through to 1971.
They swapped to the R45TS for 1972

I only ran across these "N" plugs a short while ago, but so far I have only observed ones which would be comparable to the "T" or "TS" plugs.

My June 1993 Delco spark plug catalog does not list a R44N for any 1969 Chevrolet;
The closest I can find is a 1968 Chevelle  that lists a 44N or 44XLS for the 396 265hp/325hp engines.
(My catalog is a USA printing, so not Canadian Poncho's are listed).

I have 4 green stripe R43T & R44T plugs for my 1970 454's. Bought them in bulk on ebay years ago.
