I'm not sure of steve heath's spec, but I suspect the difference is taper or flat seat plugs. Cat cars generally were taper, non-cat flat - although even Ford mixed them, I had a non-cat Granada with taper plugs.

It's dictated by the machining of the cylinder head. If you look on the top of the head just in front of no 4 exhaust outlet (front nearside) you'll see an embossed F or K. F means flat, K means taper.
