autolight 23
not for the 100 shot^^^^ colder plug isn't really suggested until the 150 range autolite 25's will work fine and if you want retard timing 2 degrees

no but like adder says a 24 would be better cause you are two steps colder already and may not be generating a hot enough spark to properly ignite the mixture 24 would be better.. if you live life on safe side

if your running a 125 shot 24's will be fine and pull 2-3 degrees base timing for safety
