Well..once again I stand corrected. I guess I should wait a tad longer before shooting my mouth off. The good news is I keep learning. This forum is great.

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. To my knowledge, with only a few exceptions all spark plugs are either 10, 14, or 18mm.

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 replaced every single removable part Roy ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Burns To: Old Chevy Truck Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 7:36 PM Subject: [old-chevy-truck] 10mm sparkplugs A friend of mine stopped by in his 46 ½ ton pickup a couple of days ago. He was showing me one of the spark plugs that he had just replaced. It was a 10mm plug. I had not ever seen one, and was surprised that an old American made truck used such a plug. His truck is mostly original, so I assume that this was a standard item in 1946. He said that he also had never run into them until he bought this truck Please give me a brief nutshell education about these plugs.
