I can only imagine the BS you tell people silly enough to ask.

Lawrie, you could tell them it is to burn the residual gas in the exhaust like having an afterburner for more pep.

Well I can see why the car isnt running correctly. With the porcelain cracked that bad it would provide an intermittent spark.

If you should hit something and break it off while driving it will drain all your oil

You'll never have to ask whether the plug was oil fouled or gas fouled.

I need a 1/2" pipe plug to close off a gas line in my house so I used a Model T spark plug.

I've seen oil pan drain plugs, drilled & tapped for a DRAIN COCK! Kinda' SLOW, but it works!
