Autolite spark plugs

Recommended Posts

 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

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.

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.

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

 

I don't know about the photo but 295 and 306 are interchangeable in our engines. 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.  ?
