I made my own on the first one, I knock all the center porcylen and center electrode out of the spark plug and inserted a long 5/16( I think that was the size) bolt with a nut on the cylinder side to lock and hold the bolt into plug body and used it as my first piston stop with the head on. You can buy them from most any tool truck, they are usually brass or bronze mix also which is good   one of the ones I've bought had a small hole in the center to relive the pressure when moving the piston up towards TDC, I think it whistle also

BB Mopar.
A lot of the ones I saw listed on Amazon said small gas engines and chain saws so wasn't sure if I'm missing something.

as I recall spark plugs were invented overseas in England that's why they are metric??
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns
paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred
site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

Not sure where they were invented but Albert Champion was a French guy who had a lot of early commercial success making plugs. I think he went on to be the founder of AC Delco also. Some early Fords use pipe threads for plugs but gradually all the popular stuff moved to metric.

Of course....... I don’t think England was on board with the metric system “back in the day”.

Hey ...we still aren't  Actually, we're kind of schizophrenic - still universally use miles and mph, milk sold in pints (let's not go there...), sometimes use lbs weight....but at school even oldies like me did all my maths, and Engineering degrees in metric, and pretty much everything else is metric too. I'm just about used to deg C in the weather forecast....but I speak deg F too
