Steve,

That is a "modern" plug with the assumption that a vehicle running the plug has electronic devices that would be interfered with (not just a radio) e.g. computers, et al. I know of no replacement that is not a resistor plug, although I do not think that a non resistor plug would be of any advantage.

I would look toward carb jetting to be honest with you. if your plugs are wet you are either having partial ignition failure or a super rich condition. What carb(s) are you using? What jets? Also what is your normal operating temp? Are you using a thermostat? which one? My 428 will not run (well) below 175-180. If you are using a 160 thermostat you may not be developing sufficient temp to vaporize ALL the fuel you are trying to burn..

Hope this helps..
