I don't think the OP owns a 3V.

You can put any plug in them you want, but anything other than Motorcrafts are hit and miss. Use at your own risk.

What does "OP" mean "Original Poster" and I think your right "3V" would be 3 valve?

I think there is a heat range difference between those two.

I didn't see any specifics mentioned, but for the majority of them they use the EXACT same components. The ONLY difference between say an Autolite 104 and an AGSF32C is the print on the barrel.
