Chrysler 72 spark plugs


Recommended Posts

I'm a believer in taking advantage of modern technology where possible.

Spark plug adapters are available to reduce the size of the thread down to 14mm. Then you have a huge range of available heat ranges and technologies to choose from.

I am not a big fan of modern technologies  that's why I have vintage cars

which can be worked on with normal tools. not like modern cars with all the electronics

just my own view

I advocate for the evaluation of different plugs and finding optimum plug reach. This S65 engine was run with standard Model A Ford Autolite #3076 plugs (1/2" reach?) before I switched to the slightly longer reach (3/4"??) of these Champions (forgot the #, probably also made mainly for Model A and thus easily obtainable). As visualized, the Champion plugs brought the spark more into the combustion chamber. The car then  ran 3 mph faster up my test hill after the changeover, but that might be also related to all fresh plugs.

Both my model 62 and my model G70 motors came with Champion C5 plugs that were fitted way back in the 60's. I will eventually run them with those plugs.

The C4 are used on Model A Fords and will be a slightly different heat range, try them and see how the car performs.
