It is the distance the heat has to travel up the center electrode to the
metal shell so the plug can transfer heat to the water jackets in the head.
The greater distance the hotter the plug and shorter the cooler the heat
range of a plug.
Champion makes is easy since the higher the number the hotter the plug.
A Champion RN9YC is a cooler plug than a RN12YC.
Look in any automotive text book or the Champion manuals for the
explanation.

I've been using Accel 114's for the last ten or 15
years, they seem to work fine. I have a collection of
different temp range plugs from Accel all the way from
113 through 117. I've never taken the time to play on
the dyno to see if there's any difference changing
heat range. I know = "my bad". I've never had a plug
fail despite the amount of internet detritus regarding
the quality of this brand.<br>
<br>
In any case I was thinking about switching to NGK. My
TR6 motor is 12:1, Webers, cam (street duration Isky
Z19), header, etc. Ignition is Mallory / Pertronix.<br>
<br>
Would the NGK BP6ES or BP7ES be a better choice?<br>
