I am including a picture of the head with the valve cover removed. One shows what looks like 482824. Thanks for your help!

RustyPile: Thanks for the detailed info about the AC plug numbers. Sounds like if I wanted a hotter plug, I would need to consider going up a number.(?) and my engine will need the T in the designation for the tapered plugs. Sounds like I need to do more research on that one.

72SB, I would agree with you on the carb dumping gas. I will dig into that as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

HO455: Thanks for the tips on the ignition items. It's a direction I hadn't gone at all because they are new. Sounds like I need to take a hard look at these items as well. I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks for your help. I will follow up with what I learn.
