I edited my post and eliminated the word "about". So does that suit you now or have I still got it wrong? The heads I am using are NOS script...
NGK B6L is the way to go on a 59A Ford flathead. This is an excellent spark plug to use on the 59A engines. My 59A flathead runs great and starts...

The Almquist heads have the big spark plug holes to fit the large Champion spark plugs, and yes the spark plug holes are threaded.
Not so fast here!!! Here are photos of the Almquist flathead head I had mentioned in an earlier post. The Speedway head and the Almquist head look...
Not made by Billy Smith at Speedway Motors. Those heads have the Almquist pattern and were cast post war in the late 1940's. The Almquist heads...

Headlights on the Doane Spencer roadster are BLC 682J. Tags have been removed by Doane Spencer.
