    A good read Volty. Great article on the spark plug replacement saga. I can relate to much of that story, as I owned a few "yank tanks" in my early years of motoring.

    That's a remarkably useful site, very informative. I actually own one of those spark plug boxes, inherited it from my father, and still replenished. Oddly, often a spark plug that will not work at all, if allowed to hibernate for a year or two in the spark plug box will acquire a complete new lease of life and be as good as new. I've always liked the mica spark plugs for some reason.

    One thing that intensely annoys me is the modern practice of referring to SAE threads and spanners as "Imperial". As we all know, SAE is NOT Imperial which term should be confined to BSF BSW Whitworth , CEI and (maybe) BA . And no, SAE spanners do NOT properly fit Imperial bolts

    Trouble with the yanks is 1mm = .68 quarts (Obviously that's a metric quart measured in a pint pot )
