Don't be so sure about that. Its true about those little 10mm spark plugs in
the earlier engines. And to make things worse, the plugs in your 51 have
14mm threads. The larger plug that Ford typically used for many many years
have 18mm threads
Well, I can tell you that Chevy did NOT use a 10mm plug in 46 or any other
truck before or for years after. They might fit especially if someone did some
modifications but they weren't standard. The original 216 used AC 45 spark
plugs. There are NO metric anythings on my '51 and I removed and
10mm plugs were indeed used in the 216. I have the original motor and thats
what it had. The theory was the plug would burn cleaner.
