Default spark plugs

I have a set of ACDelco CR43TS spark plugs in my tool box...I don't know what car they are for and I was wondering if I bought them for my Pontiac or not. Are any of you guys runnin these?

Thanks

I am not familiar with that particular # or whether it fits a Pontiac V-8 but the heat range would be too cold for any Pontiac motor that I am aware of.

Depending on your compression ratio, type of driving, ignition type, etc. this heat range actually be better than the "factory" spark plugs. When you start modifying the engine things requirements change. If you put them in and notice fouling, then they are too cold. Otherwise go with the coldest possible to ward off detontation.
