Spark plugs: which model, and how to affix them?

Post by loco » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:12 pm

Hi all, I have a sparking solution set up, complete with coil and flasher unit, but I'm not sure what plug to buy and how to install it into the engine whilst causing the minimum disruption to air flow.

I took a look around my local hardware store and couldn't find a nut that would fit the plug that I scavenged from an old suzuki 4x4 at the dump. do I need the plug to be removable, or could I just weld the thing in place?

Thanks yet again, everyone!

sure, weld it in place if you can. if it's thin carbon steel, the plug will outlast the motor.
I have just threaded them in to the right size hole, making thier own threads. it ends up wiggling out, so you can then wire it to the CC. That works well.
Mike Often wrong, never unsure.
