Spark Plugs

Posted by Jim Miller on Sep. 24, 1998 at 12:23:01

I threw out the junk Firestone sparkplugs that out local antique Ford parts supplier sells as model A spark plugs and installed the Champion W16Y plugs and what a difference!!The idle is now smooth and no misses or backfireing, AND the stalling when stopping is considerably reduced. (I guess everything causes that).Anyway, I highly recomend to those out there to get rid of these firestone plugs being sold as model a plugs, the threads fit but the spark end of the plug is about 3/8th of an inch too short.As you can guess I'm fairly new to this hobby and with some items like this I don't know the difference and accept the word of the suppliers.
But thanks to this board I'm learnig.
