Re: Which plug do you run?
HOW??? do you "restore" plugs??? Just clean them???? IF they're burned away & tired, just CAN them or use them for FISHING Weights or hang one on your Mirror or Key Ring--LOL

Re: Which plug do you run?
Purdy,
Good to hear from you and hope you and yours are all okay too. I still owe you one for that Simmons throttle shaft you gave me! I'm giving a Pertronix 40111 coil to a good friend for Christmas. I'm even going to say I will install it for him. To prove to him it is the way to go, for Model-A's on the go! Take care and please continue passing on all the Model-A wisdom you have. Bob-A |

I have been running my PerTronix 40611 Flame Thrower since Purdy recommended it ~3 years ago.

Re: Which plug do you run?

Re: Which plug do you run?
I just bought...I mean Santa is getting me the Pertronix Flame-Thrower coil, because I've been a very good boy this year.
I run the W-18's, but I found a new 3X plug online for $15 (free shipping), just need three more.
