Booger Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Recently Ive have a hard time finding Autolite 306s here in corn country at my local parts houses. Years ago the other nationally knowd spark plug worked great. Not so much today. I would suggested you get a six pack of Autolites to keep on hand. I dont know if the UAW strike will effect nationwide availability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJon Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Most of the autolite plugs I have handled are from West Taiwan and Mexico. I dont think either country is much affected by US unions. Edited October 13, 2023 by FarmerJon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 You can also purchase Autolite 295 Plugs at walmart. A friend of mine that has a 39 Desoto has been running these for severalyears. The cost is approx $1.90 per plug. They can be fund back in the autolotive section near the sparkplugs for lawnmowers. I have these in my spare parts for my 39 Desoto. i have seen these on Ebay for $7 and up plus shipping. Pickup a couple to have a spares. Also the autolite 306 can be purchased from Any Berbaum.

Ivan_B Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Have you looked into alternatives? I am using Motorcraft AL7CA, the PO installed; did not notice any issues with them, thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los_Control Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 When I first bought my truck I picked up some new plugs at a local parts store .... they just happened to be Champions, I used them for a little bit with no issues. Because modern Champions have a tarnished reputation .... I went to a different parts store and they sold me AC Delco R45. I'm satisfied with them and all my other AC Delco parts .... when buying parts and have a decision to make I always choose AC Delco if I can. Autolite, or NGK are a few other plug choices I would be happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booger Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Sam is showing a picture of an Autolite 295. I dont have the 306s I use in front of me, and then that may just be a stock photo, but the plugs Ive been happy with seem to be a thread or 2 longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 295 is a non-resistor plug, works fine for me since I don't have a radio. However.....I pulled up next to my buddy's airplane hangar and my car's ignition system with copper-core wires slammed his aviation-band receiver with static! Use 306 if you have a radio......guess people wonder why their radio goes crazy when I pull up to a traffic light. ?
