1991 spark plug change over.
I am curious why the transition to obd changed to the champion rc12LYC from the renix with the rc9YC? Why was an extended tip needed?

From what I've read, the air/fuel mix is more uniform near the center of the cylinder (away from the walls). The extended reach plugs try to hit that sweet spot. Less unburned fuel = better emissions.

I use the NGK plugs for the later models in all my 4.0s. ZFR5N

See if the below data will help.
I think when OBDII came along (California initiated) there was an effort to decrease pollution and increase fuel economy fleet wide so I think that is the reason for longer projection plugs.
NGK's answer to the Champion RC12LYC was the FR5-1. Talking to NGK Tech Support, their claim was that the extended shell was a request from Chrysler.

Also,
I see that the cylinder head changed in 1991 from the 1990 C/N 2686 head to the 1991 C/N 7120 head (different exhaust ports).
The intake and exhaust manifold changed from 1990 to 1991.
The O2S changed in 1991 to an O2S with a longer pigtail (for the new exhaust manifold I guess).
Fuel injectors changed.
PCM changed.
