On the subject of plugs, I still have my dad's '68 300 with its original 440-4v.it used to call for Champion J13Y.recently on a tune up I installed J12y,,,are the J13y's no longer out there? I couldn't get them locally anywhere. Any one know about the J13y's? Car runs well on 12's, and with 81K miles is a STILL a great ride.. Thanks!

According to my files, A42 is equivalent to a Champion J12Y (the lower the Champion number the cooler the plug, it's ability to transfer heat resulting from combustion to the cylinder head quicker than a "hotter" plug. Cooler plugs are used in high performance engines.) Champion specs for a 413 list a RJ14Y for standard applications and a RJ11Y for high performance applications. A J10Y or A32 is recommended for a 1959 300E. For your info: R = Resistor plug J = First prefix letter for thread size - thread reach (3/8 inch) and hex size ( 13/16 inch) 14 = Heat Range Y = Gap style - protruding nose Since R,J and Y are given for a 413, the heat range is determined by application. If you run your 300 frequently at high speeds, a cooler plug is recommended. If you drive the car occasionally, I would suggest a hotter plug. Please advise the year, car and carburation: 1 or 2 4-barrel carburators. Maybe we can zero in on the right heat range for you. Other, more experienced club members may have additional or better information.

However,the 413 engine specifications says Auto-Lite A-32 or Champion J-12Y. I have a package of Auto-Lite A-42. Can I use them? or what is your choice today.
