The first set of spark plugs that I bought for my model A was Champion C-4 . This purchase was over the counter at Thomasville Auto Parts in 1960 . The metal part of these spark plugs was zinc or some such silver colored plating like modern Champion spark plugs . These spark plugs cost maybe sixty something cents or less each . I decided to try these old used spark plugs again after all of these years . I cleaned and gapped the plugs and installed them in the same model A that I got them for 59 years ago . The model A cranked right up and seemed to run pretty good . I decided to remove and replace the C-4s with Champion W-18s . I think I'll try the C-4s again if I need Them . I think that most of us change the spark plugs way too soon in our model A's .
