You should be able to use any of them as long as the spec says 1.2-1.5v. Coxes are probably in the medium range. They don't change to hotter plugs on the throttled engines. Not that you couldn't with aftermarket plugs. I use the medium Glo-Bee drop-ins with head clamps for all of my Coxes and Norvels.

Does that answer your question?

Just to confuse things further, would a slow turning large prop require a hotter plug? I believe the Texaco head is listed as a hotter head.

I know you can change glow plugs for different fuel types to change the performance characteristics. A relatively "hot" plug effectively advances the timing, while a relatively "cold" plug effectively retards the timing. This is similar to how changing how many gasket shims are used will change the timing, with fewer shims advancing timing and more retarding timing.

Good catch, I forgot about the Texaco. I think it just Gets hotter since it's heavily loaded with the big prop, therefore the extra fins. Engines that need to sustain an idle and then be able to throttle up need a hot plug so as to react with the reduced supply of methanol at idle and still be able to stay lit. There's more to it, but that's what I know.
