What spark plugs does a Chevy 454 use?

Spark Plugs for Chevy 454
The spark plugs for a Chevy 454 engine can vary based on factors such as compression ratio, ignition system, and other engine modifications. However, based on the information provided, it seems that ACDelco and Autolite spark plugs are commonly recommended for the Chevy 454 engine.
For a 454 Chevy engine with a compression ratio of approximately 10:1, equipped with MSD capacitive discharge “CD” ignition, headers, and a long duration cam, the AC-Delco R45XLS plugs have been used, but there may be a more suitable plug for the application. Additionally, NGK BPR6ES plugs have been used in a 1967 454 engine with mild cam and roller rockers, but there is a consideration for using a plug with a metal gasket and a reach of.460.
In general, it is recommended to consider the specific engine setup and seek advice from professionals when selecting the best spark plugs for a 454 big block engine. It’s important to ensure that the spark plug size and heat range are appropriate for the engine to avoid potential damage.
Ultimately, for a 454 Chevy engine, it is advisable to consult with experts or refer to the specific recommendations for the engine’s setup to determine the most suitable spark plugs.

What spark plug is better NGK or iridium?

Iridium spark plugs are better at starting engines than other types of spark plug because the spark is highly concentrated in the central electrode, and consequentially requires less voltage to operate. This makes ignitions faster and more reliable, and also reduces power consumption.

Which is better iridium or platinum spark plug?

Iridium is a far stronger metal than platinum, capable of taking up to eight times as much wear and tear as a platinum spark plug before losing efficiency. This means that iridium spark plugs are less likely to fail than platinum spark plugs, need replacing less often, and perform better under tough conditions.

The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to jump the gap. Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency.

What is the recommended spark plug gap?

between 0.028″ and .060″
Finding the Proper Gap Setting
The gap setting is different for each vehicle but most are somewhere between 0.028″ and . 060″. Consult the owner’s manual or Champion ® catalog to find the recommended setting for the vehicle you’re working on.
