My Offy 400 heads had about 5/8 in. of threads. I used the Autolite 4092 plugs and chamfered the combustion side to remove the excess head threads. For clearance of plug to valve, anything over 1/16 in. should be plenty. I did this several years ago and many miles and the engine runs fine.
Did a search on auto lite sited and could find nothing that tells me what A9 and B9 are
