Default 3X plugs

Saw these in the swap section. They sure look old but with the flat top
3 I guess they are repos.

Yes they are repos. Also note that the knurling does not go all the way down.

You wouldn't want to try installing them until the threads have been sandblasted clean, or you'll damage the head threads.

(Fortunately our club has it's monthly 'ice cream social' in a little under 2 hours from now. 'Ice cream social' is a well-defined term in our club which translates into 'Ok, another reason to (a) drive our Model A's and (b) feed our faces.' Big D Burgers on Silverado Trail in Napa @ 5:30; if you're near and want, come on down. We're relatively friendly...)

Well (typical of a lot of Model A owners) some of us are a bit long in the tooth and can be a bit testy...
