Default Oil fouled spark plug(s)

1983 Dodge van, 318 engine. Van has almost 146,000 miles on it. Every two or three years I install new Autolite AP 64 spark plugs, I can clean the old plugs but I prefer to install new spark plugs. At least one or more cylinders fouls one or two spark plugs, I only drive that van about once a month to the food store. I think I should install a hotter set of spark plugs. Can anybody advise what would be hotter spark plugs for my van? Thanks for any info.

AP65 is one step hotter.

Also you can try the non foulers.

OK, Thanks. I remember now what non foulers are. One end screws into the cylinder head(s) spark plug holes and the spark plugs screw into the other end of the non foulers. In fact, I think I have a non fouler around here somewhere.
