longer the bottom of the plug the colder…that correct? i’m having a hell of a time getting plugs for the motor in jims truck i keep getting different ones every time i look it up for a dif year but i’ve settled on AC’s R44t’s from what i can tell it’s got 3 different length plugs (not ceramic section the metal section) in it and i was told that designates heat range. ---
