Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Does someone have a set of 'long reach' spark plugs for a 24 DB? I'm curious what my options are as far as NOS, reproduction, used, etc. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB-ed Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I remember just responding to a spark plug question. Anyhow, see the club website for a chart of part numbers. Then go to parts store and buy brand new. You may need to order special from small stores, some tractor stores will have them in stock. My tractor supply has a sale now and again and I get them in the $3 range each. Or you can buy them from "resellers" who will charge $7 but have them in stock guaranteed, ready to ship. I never got too excited about NOS antique plugs as my interest is in great performance, not show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Thanks for the information. I found the spark plug information on the DB site somewhat confusing...for example: the original Champion plug is listed as a C-4, but the C-4 here in front of me does not have the extended reach. The site also lists some other 'extended' plugs...but how much extended are they? Do you know which 7/8" plug has the correct extended reach for the 24 DB? Which plug are you using now? Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB-ed Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I have Champion C-26 on mine. That AC number 76-S also applies. "Long reach" means that the points will stick out just below the bottom surfact of the head. Normal reach (if they call it that) will be lost up in the hole. Too long of a reach will interfrer with piston head in some cars but I cant say for sure with Dodges. You probably ought to e-mail Rodger "Dodger" to confirm these numbers, but that Champion was provided by Romar several years ago. Although I havent driven the car yet, it does start and idle.

Guest leadfoot Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I used to pay a lot more than what JB-Ed is talking for high quality NOS era long reach plugs with correct bluing in prime condition. Then this last time I came to my senses and inquired at the NAPA mega store and learned that they stock correct Champion plugs at the regional warehouse, with overnight delivery. Sure they're cadmium plated, but I'm not showing the car right now. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
