Wizard spark plugs
 

I was helping a friend take apart an old rusty model A and the engine had "Wizard" spark plugs (they look as old as the car). What's the history on those? Just wondering.

Thanks for your time.

Someone on the Barn is from OZ. Maybe he knows!

Don't know the history but when I got my 28 chrysler to restore there were 4 in it, and to my suprise they look like the spitfire plug with the duel electro, so I figure the duel electro isn;t new! I still have them and did use them for awhile till I got new one to put into my rebuilt engine. It looks to me that everything repeats its self.

I believe these plugs were sold by western auto

In a pile of "stuff" I collected a while back there was a set of four Blue Crown Husky spark plug, new and still in their boxes. I think I will run them in Tillies new engine jus' 'cause i think they look unique.

Yes, Wizard was a Western Auto Stores brand. I have some Wizard tools that came from there, I always thought it was a cool name.

I've got some of those, mine say Wizard aero, I think that the reason was if one side didn't fire then the other side would.These might be good for an air camper with a model A engine. I got a box of 10, the best I remember, back in the seventies from a friend , they were old even then. I run them for a while but they were to cold for me. These plugs would be good for higher rpm for extended time. Wizard was a brand name sold by Western Auto. I also have a Wizard improved carburetor that was sold for the model A.

I've seen some wizards, but haven't heard much about them aside from when you are at full throttle, no one will be a ble to get around you..

something about "You shall not pass!!"

(lol) a little 'Lord of the Rings' humor there..



I personally run Blue Crowns.. They had the most even resistance readings across the group of plugs, so I went with them

Wizard definitely was a Western Auto brand. I remember from working at my Dad's Western Auto store in St. Marys, Ohio at age ten to fourteen.
