Spark plug heat ranges are not set by ignition systems, but by actual compression ratios. So, just numbers thrown out, lets say an AC44 is for a 10.00:1 c/r, and that is what your engine has, run the 44 heat range. Adjust heat range as needed.
Great to see you post on here Dave! I sent you a PM on an unrelated matter.
