Default Re: Spark plug preference...Curious

Use raja ends, so autolite plugs removable ends, works for me 216 or 218 18mm, I can look up the plug to be certain... (in 14mm it's like 486 for autolite). NKG doesn't make them that I know of with screw tops.


Could go with a hotter plug then the champion h10. The new plugs have good reviews. But let us know!!!

I run a 12V System so not a prob, I know lot’s don’t but first thing I did was convert to 12V. Bought a blue tooth radio AM/FM & will play music from my iPhone. Haven’t installed yet but bought Autolite 3924 resistor type JIC of electronic interference.

The Autolite 216 is a second choice but is in no way as good as the NGK . Champion plugs being made in mexico are prone to failure so what ever you do stay away from that brand. Ask your NAPA salesman for the B6L plug no need to try and figure out the part number.

Well,I guess rockfla has enough responses to confuse him.
Now let's move on to a new subject:
what oil to use in a flathead?
or, who is more passionate? blonds, brunettes, blackhair or redheads LOL
