Here are 3 options for you at this point:
1. Bring the head into an automotive machine shop for them to repair it;
2. Repair the stripped hole in the head with an insert
3. Buy a new head, rebuild the engine from the head gasket up.

If your spark plug doesn't screw in your threads might be messed up. Run down to your local Part store and ask for a Thread Chasser($arround 10$) and screw that in to your spark plug housing just as you where screwing in a spark plug. What this does is it replaces the threads. Take out the chasser, Lubricate your spark plug and you should be good to go.

If the actual threaded part in the head is stripped, you have to use a tap and re-thread it. to avoid metal in the cylinder bore, u should take the head apart from the block to do it. I recommend doing this yourself, as a shop will probably charge you over $1000
How would you test a spark plug?
On a carburetors motor pull the coil wire from the distributor cap (the plug wire in the center of the distributor). This is usually found between the air cleaner and the firewall. Remove the desired spark plug from the engine block, plug it into the coil wire and touch the spark plug body (the metal portion) to the engine block while cranking the engine. You will see spark if the plug is good.
How do you put a spark plug in?
you get a spark plug socket or one of similar size to fit the spark plugs, then you just put it in the correct location and screw it in snuggly(not too tight cause you will break the ceramic casing), then connect all the spark plug wires
