Guest Fr Mike Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 A while back, there was some forum discussion about a thin wall deep socket that will fit down into the spark plug wells on a pre-war Buick engine. I use ACDelco plugs and just bought a thin wall 7/8 spark plug socket from "SNAP-ON" (part no. SFS281 USA). It's pricey at $30), but works fine on my 1931 8-57.

Guest imported_Thriller Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 A less expensive option (albeit not necessarily the same quality) is to get one for small engines - it looks like a metal tube that has been formed on the ends. Since they are often in two different sizes (one on either end), you may be able to get a socket on the other end to be able to put a ratchet on it.

Mark Shaw Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Derek, I actually prefer the double ended ones. You can use a screw driver through the hole provided so they take up less room in the tool box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
