Spark Plugs

[Henry Ford IV]

It looks like the original style spark plugs with the brass nut are very expensive. I'm reading that members use Autolite 386 plugs. Will the Ford spark plug wire snap on to these plugs?

Oh, it is a 35. I'm going to tackle the wires and plugs starting today. I am new to OLD cars. I'm 67 but have never had a car older than 1949.

i get my autolite 386 from oreillys make sure you put in that the car is a 1935 ford. i believe i might have said that the 386s that my '37 was a 14mm thread but in fact they are 18mm. good luck. Tom.

I've never had a problem with Champions, plus they're the only source I can find for the L82YC plugs that fit my Edmunds heads.
