This might sound like a stupid question for you guys, but I'm flying to the US in two weeks (from France where I live) and need some bits & pieces for my 1931 Ford 5 Window coupe hot rod (with Ford 289 V8 from 1965 and some go fast goodies on it). Now I have some Autolite 25 spark plugs on the engine and I'd like to buy a few spare sets. Are these plugs easy to find in any store like Pep Boys ? Is there a cross ref chart so I can see if I can use similare plugs by Champion or any other major brand ? Thanks Charlie www.hardavmocy.com
Stick with the Autolite. I've had no luck with champion. The 25 is a taper seat plug that fits later chevy heads. I'd look up your aplication and make sure these are the correct plugs. Jeff
Thanks for your replies. Don't you think the Autolite 45 plugs could be OK for a stock '65 Mustang engine but that mine could need something else ? This 289 has roller rockers, a mild cam, "World Ford" aftermarket heads, Mallory Unilite distributor, Edelbrock 600 cfm carb etc. I didn't build the rod, it was built by Mark Richardson from the Atlanta Road Kings and the motor is a Jasper remanufactured long block. I prefer asking those who know the stuff, than my local car parts dealer who doesn't know the difference between a 1931 4 banger and a 289 V8 !
