Strange Sparkplug ????
This plug has been knocking around in my display case for years. If I knew its story when I bought it, I SURE CAN'T REMEMBER NOW!!!
The base is identical with a H-10 and it has the same thread size and dimensions. Its constructation would indicate mid 30's or later but the Ford Script seems almost "T" era. Any ideas???? Don |

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
The T plugs used pipe thread, and the As were much bigger threads?...

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
Thanks guys. I knew that it wasn't T or A or early V8, but what is it?? The bottom base is identical with H10 or H9, but the porcelin is unique.

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
Not a Champion plug, the base is slightly different beside the top. Just a guess maybe foreign Mfg. France, Germany...? Maybe even made by Ford overseas??

You might check with Pat MacFarlane in Rochester, NY. He has quite a collection of old spark plugs. He is listed in the EFV8 Roster. Pat |

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
A little OT, and pardon the thread-jacking, but can somebody explain why, with 100 years of US resistance to the metric system, that spark plugs adopted metric threads as the standard so early on?

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
Probably because of Albert Champion...note his last name, THEN note his initials!

Re: Strange Sparkplug ????
The story I heard was that Mr. Champion sold his manufacturing company and then opened a new business, AC spark plug co.
