Re: Which plug do you run?
Interested in your comment. Why? What problems have you had?
Are you talking about a stock Model A engine? Enjoy. Last edited by WHN; 11-01-2017 at 02:17 PM. |

I have used both the champions and autolite, but prefer the champions due to their size/looks. They seem to have a better appearance on top of the engine then the skinny autolite plugs I was just curious as to what others were running. And yes, I am totally stock.

Re: Which plug do you run?
Hello Gang,
My car is currently running Champion C-16 C plugs. I pulled them out and they look a little worse for wear. The center electrode is noticeably worn out near the ground electrode. I planned on replacing the plugs with Champion 3X's as recommended here. Should I have any concern with such a swap? If I should start my own thread for this question, I will. Don't mean to step on anyone's toes. Thank you for your time, Ted |

Re: Which plug do you run?
I've had good luck finding piugs sold as racing plugs from the 30's and 40's... authenticity and still a bloody hot fire

Re: Which plug do you run?
I've been running either 3X's or W18's (518) for years and here is a picture showing one reason why. Don't try this at home unless you have a lot of hacksaw blades.

Re: Which plug do you run?
I am still running C 16 C in the car that I restored in the 70s, probably the key to all of them is having the mixture right.
