Did Champion publish lists of the correct spark plugs to use in various cars? I'm specifically seeking the plugs recommended for pre-WWI car models.

I have a 1942 A C spark plug chart that give some interchanges to Champion.

What cars are you trying to find plugs for?

The best way to get an answer from me is to e-mail me at fred.rawling@live.com

I was researching the spark plug recommendations for the 1913 Metz.

I heard a story once that at least some of the early Metz cars used an extra long spark plug... I have a couple and they fit a hit and miss engine I have... One useful test would be to measure the spark plug hole from the edge of the opening to the piston chamber... If my information us correct the distance will exceed 2".. If this is correct other plugs will fit in the hole but the spark will occur so far from the chamber that ignition will be less effective.. as for books and references good luck.. I have a few that covered off major car brands but unusual brands like Metz... I have never found... tractor references are also very hard to find . My earliest car sparkplug catalogue is 1932.. prior to that all I have is references from dealer catalogues
