Autolite 316 spark plugs

[bkahler]

Any idea what vehicle might have used Autolite 316 spark plugs?  

 

I seem to have a bunch on hand and have no idea why I bought them!

 

I've tried googling with no real success.

 

Thanks,

An old autolite spark plug catalog from 1993 shows that the 316 plug was replaced by 295. 295 shows an application of all 6 cylinder Dodge light duty trucks from 1949-1956, all 6 cylinder Dodge cars from 1946-1956 & all 6 cylinder Plymouth cars from 1946-1956. In the back of the catalog where principle applications are listed for the 295 plug it lists: B & S engines: Allis Chalmers, Beaird-Poulan, David Bradley, Dayton, Gravely, Hoffco, John Deere, Lawnflite, Montgomery-Ward, Roper, White, Yardman (L&G); Atomic (Inboard engines), Maneo (mopeds), Ariens, Bolens, Bunten, John Deere, Sensation (P/M), Blue Diamond, Brothers, John Deere (S,R,E) (10 pack). 295 plug lists its special features as Loose Nut Terminal & Nickel Plated Shell and has a 14 mm thread diameter, 3/8" reach, 13/16" hex, Gasket seat, Standard tip and is a Non resistor plug. Hope some of this helps!

So they are listed for Dodge trucks.  I bought these a LONG time ago and I normally wouldn't have purchased them if they weren't for my truck, however I have a hard time remembering what happened yesterday let alone 20 years ago  

 

I've also got some Autolite 303 plugs and will use those first but will have to try the 316 plugs to see if I notice any difference.

 

I do appreciate the info!
