Topic: Spark Plug Type


Drbrown    -- 07-25-2023 @ 10:16 AM
  My '47 came with Champion H-11 plugs; I don't know why. I understand these are a little "hotter" than the stock H-10's and might be used to fight carbon buildup. Some people don't like Champion plugs at all. They appear to continue to work okay since my ownership; the tips show no carbon, soot or oil buildup. However, given their age and a suspected occasional minor misfire at higher RPM's and load, I'm thinking replacement. Option #1: Sometime back I acquired a spare set of Autolite 216's thinking they are similar to Champion H-10's. Is that true ? Option #2: I also see the Autolite 216's listed as a replacement for the Champion H-11 (??) Option #3: I see Champion H-10C's for sale - are those the same as the H-10 ?? Would appreciate any recommendations.

  I have always used the Autolite 216s with no problem.

  I've used both in the 8ba in my '39 p/u. Didn't notice any difference between them. JMO
