I am absolutely devastated by this!
Any fix that does not include bailing wire is not a roadside fix.
It is heresy to think that you can fix an A or T without it.

Bill, normally I would have those and other emergency small repair items, but I grabbed the wrong trip kit in my hurry to leave on the tour. Lesson learned!

Every kit must contain a length of bailer wire, a roll of duct tape, a big hammer, and a few first aid items. Hand tools are a good option.

  • Copper core center electrode allows for accurate control of heat range for longer life
  • TinTac and ULTRASEAL shell for best corrosion protection of any spark plug in the industry
  • Durable: Champion copper plus spark plugs are built to ISO and SAE standards for proven performance; Champion's patented SAC-9 semi-conductor resistor provides maximum EMI and RFI suppression
  • Champion copper plus spark plugs use TinTac and Ultraseal Shells, this eliminates the need for the use of antiseize compound during installation by providing the best corrosion protection of any spark plug in the industry
Forever,
"Some" plug company advertised the inner insulator as, "THERMO-ELASTIC, the heat retention properties would CHANGE, to meet the driving conditions. I "think" it was BOSCH, but I'm not sure??

"My wife noticed a brochure with a paper clip on it in the door pocket. Bingo!"

True credit due ??????

After 20 or so replies, worth mentioning that you were most fortunate to have a wonderful, humble mechanical genius passenger sitting next to you on this trip ........ good thing you did not have a typical retarded male passenger just sitting there waiting for AAA ...........
