When these engines were initially built and released to the public we had higher octane and lead along with i believe dirtier fuel than now, so the engineers specified a plug with a heat range that would cook off deposits

Now fuel is cleaner no lead the plug does not need to be as hot to stay clean and combine that with lower octane the original heat specs are not as appropriate and can lead to detonation pre'ignition
