I hopefully was able to attach a picture from a .pdf presentation by Andy Wiedeman for a Model A Ford automobile group. It shows the extended reach for the 3077 and the Champion W 16Y plugs on the inside of a Model A Ford head I presume.

I only mention Brillman as note of general availability, not necessarily as an endorsement.  So, if you didn't mind changing brands of plugs, the Champion may give you a hotter plug than you have now.

I don't know that resister wires would necessarily relate to fouling, but I hate to put any extra pressure on the mag.  I did come across one early Deere owner that swapped his plugs from side to side periodically,  as I think the #1 cylinder runs richer than the #2 side.
