Hook style plug set - What spark plug?
I recently purchased a plug wire kit, and it has the early style hook ends which is not what I was expecting. However, I actually like the look and want to use it on my C59A, as I'll also be using a helmet dizzy. I'm guessing that it will not fit on my Autolite 216s. Do I need plugs with a removeable terminal nut to use with the hook style plug wires? If so, does anyone have a recommendation that is equivalent to the 216?

These are what you need for the hook type wires > https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1932-36...-/351249747296

Re: Hook style plug set - What spark plug?
Ok. So I need a plug with a removable nut. The NGK 6BL (3212) is equivalent to the Autolite 216, and it has a removeable nut. I'm guessing it has a M4 thread vs the 8/32" listed on the eBay site above.
Seems Monarch-Supply has some very nice nuts and "cooling fins" in both metric and imperial theads. Beautiful, but spendy. So much detective work for this flathead youngin. Lol... |

We sell the same nuts posted above with the red background with a m4 size

Excellent. I saw you had many items for sale on eBay, but did't notice the M4 nuts.

Re: Hook style plug set - What spark plug?
Went back to NAPA where I had purchased the Autolite 216s, and they had one NGK 6BL in stock. The rest should be in tomorrow and I can return the Autolites. I'm really surprised at how well the small removable nut secures the hook. It will not budge. A comparison shot of the two plugs and the hook installed on the NGK. Now that looks nostalgic to me. Just need those brass nut now.
