The engine is a 4.3 LX Mercruiser webber carb serial # of 073363. Looking to replace the plugs but in service manual #18 in sec 4 b-4 it calls for Champ RV8c gapped .035 and in sec 1 b-7 it calls for Champ RV15yc4 gapped .040 I'm not sure which of the two to buy. Thanks Fuzzy

The AC MR43T always worked great for me.That should have been what was in it originally....
