Autolite 45 is a typical BF32 alternative used. I have Motorcraft and Autolite BF 32 if needed.

Thanks Bob... I just may take you up on Autolite BF 32... I'm running Pertronix... is that compatible with these plugs?

Yes many people that I know of run the Pertronix and the BF32's. I am not a Pertronix guru and do not have Pertronix in any of my cars. I have heard some people say that the Autolite copper core spark plug 45 works best with the Pertronix. I can't confirm.

Yes, I've heard the same about the copper core... if I wanted to take you up on a set of BF32's you have how would I go about that?

I've been running Autolite 45's with Pertronix for 20 years in my 66 GT 350 and they have been great.

Awesome, thanks jk66gt350.... appreciate the feedback! At the end of the day I just want to provide the motor with what it needs to perform the way it can.

The star design was phased out after 67 production of hipo's or GT350. No difference in how the plugs perform other then historical significance of it being the plug the engine was built with. Because of attrition the star plugs are rare. Because of supply and demand the star plugs are much more expensive compared to the non star marked plug.

     If originality in presentation is not a concern, myself, I'd run the NGK brand, part number: 2438, "WR5" spark plugs.   :)

I run BF32s (with the star logo) in CSX2367.   Standard dual point distributor.   We do a lot of local shows and driving events so the plugs are somewhat "stressed".  I've never had a problem.  I do remove and clean about once per year.   Dave.

A private message (PM) would be the best way for me. You click on the name/avatar and it will give you options.
