My cylinder head is from a 2000 PT Cruiser.

Ed I've heard the same thing about the extended plug and the timing. I'll take some out before running it. I ran more timing than other comparable neons. Could have been the retracted tip.

Art,

I would recommend the following Autolite Racing plug numbers:

AR3932X or AR3933X

The AR3932X is a colder plug.

Are those 25mm (1") reach with a tapered seat and 5/8 (16mm) hex?
Those are the parameters I need

The specifications show the lengths as follows:

The Champion 470 is 25.5mm (1.00") long.
The Autolite AR3932X is 25mm (0.984) long.

The Autolite plug is also shown as a plug application for the late model Hemi engine.
It may not require adding the washers as you want to.

The Autolite X plug shown is 3/4 reach gasket seat, They do make a .708 tapered seat X plug I have all of the X plugs in stock.

What's the story on the X plugs? Any performance gains? What is the target market?

Art,

It double checked and the above plug is incorrect.
The confusion stems from your statement for a plug for a 2000 PT Cruiser cylinder head. The PT Cruiser was launched in 2000 as a 2001 model.

So, for a 2000 Neon application, the spark plug is not tapered, it uses a gasket and the above racing plug will work.

You should look at the tapered plug that Rich (quickford1) has available.

To try to answer everybody at once I will try to explain the X plug. It was first used in Nascar because of ground straps burning off or breaking off, they are made by both Autolite& Champion in limited heat ranges and numbers .They are used by just about every team. They are available 708 tapered seat & 3/4 reach gasket seat. The best part is no need to index. These plugs are made in limited runs so are hard to get sometimes.
