Default Spark Plugs

As this question is going to prove, I am woefully ignorant as to the Model A ignition system.

Will the NOS plugs shown in the photo be acceptable (‘too cold, too hot”) for running (not judging) my Model A while I am completing a set of the original ‘3X’ plugs?

I'm not familiar with them but I would keep them NOS and put in whatever the Model a stores have on hand.

Chuck, There is a guy on E-BAY yhat has been selling the new style 3x for $65-85... From what I understand he bought a whole pallet load @ an auction.. He started by listing them as NOS Originals & I sent him the correct info... P.S. I am pretty sure your truck should have the First style 3x, The one with No "Made In U.S.A." on the back side... Its on the front, the back is just plain...
