Spark plugs?

So I bought a set of spark plugs for my 1970 350ci engine, but when I was middle of changing oil, I've found out that those didn't fit in to my heads. Then I remembered that back in 2009 autumn I had a problem with the heads. There was a tiny crack between cylinders 1 and 3. And the fix was back then just to buy used heads and install them on. So, now I have to find out what heads those are and buy new set of spark plugs to it.
