Spark Plugs


Recommended Posts

:SMOKIE-LFT: Hi everyone;

Hope you all had a fun Christmas!

I'm trying to find out what spark plugs my 1940 EH :mack1: should have. I'm hoping to have a new set with me when I go after the truck,so if they aren't in stock in the parts stores I won't have to wait for them to arrive. If anyone can tell me what plugs it came with,maybe I can cross reference up a set of Bosch Platinums for it. (I run Bosch Platinum plugs in ALL my stuff.) I'm also expecting to have to rebuild the carb,so if you can tell me what carb this truck has,or a part number for the rebuild kit,that'd be a huge help too. I've already discovered none of the parts stores even have any references to :mack1: parts for ignition and fuel systems parts in their books. Looks like I'll have to get my own set of parts books for it,huh? :thumb:

It should use Champion D-14 or D-16. Doubt that Bosch even makes that in Platium.

:D Probably not,but it couldn't hurt to have a look...Thanks for the info :thumb: -if I don't find 'em in Bosch,I can at least pick up a set of these for it.

:SMOKIE-LFT::blink: Well,here's what I found;Champion D-16 is a Bosch M10ACO,AC C-87,Autolite 386,NGK A-6,and Denso L14U,L14RU,and/or M17,depending on what brand you cross from. Couldn't find a way to cross to a Bosch Platinum. It's amazing how few online parts suppliers have provision for us to shop by part number.Pretty near everything I found required that I give a make,model,year,etc. but NONE even showed :mack1: ,let alone a 1940 :mack1: . Maybe I need to get me some new search engines...

I don't know why I didn't think of it before :wacko: -I have a friend who suggested making some inserts I could thread into the spark plug holes that would be threaded for more common spark plugs. I'm going to talk to a guy I know with a lathe tomorrow to see if he could do this. :thumb:
