Re: crusader model 350 (454) spark plug
The owner of the boat I work on uses the AC Delco MR43T. They are a touch cooler than the spec plug, but apparently it is better for slow speed trolling. I think the spec is MR44T.
IMO, I think you will not see much difference in performance or reliability between any of the major brands (NKG, Champion, Delco, etc).

Smart move the AC is a better plug for a GM engine
