Does any one know the part number for the autolite waterproof sparkplugs. I was going to see it the local parts store can order some for me. I have a L 134 engine _________________ Michael G.

The most current plug is the Autolite 2243. If she's burning a little oil the hotter 2245 will work. These would be a special order item at you car parts store. Most of the MV vendors carry them. You can also keep your eye open for the other brands and older numbers:
Champion XMJ-14 or hotter -17
AC WR44 or hotter WR46
Old Auto-Lite AR5S or hotter AR7S _________________ Wes K

Here in belgium i once saw BOSCH waterproof plugs with two electrodes for use in the nekaf engine ( dutch made M38A1). Are they a better choise instead of the autolite 2243.
In my M38 i use the 2243 plugs, how long ( miles ) can they be used before they need to be replaced ? _________________ 1942 GPW 71336 my son's jeep restored now

Well she is not burning anything at the moment I will need to rebuild the engine that is locked up first just planning ahead. Also has any one heard that Autolite might stop making these? I thought I read that somewhere.
Also what is a fair price on these?

I have autolite plugs for 8.50 ea. I have to buy 200 plugs at a time, and I can tell you that my cost is way higher than $5 ea. If you find them for $5 you had better buy them.

If you are on good terms with your local NAPA store; I know at one time they could order them for you. I used to get mine through them and although I had to buy a box of 12 the cost per plug was considerably less than what vendors were listing a per plug price for. |

called Autolite and they said that in St louis Autozone and NAPA should be able to order them I also asked what the MSRP was. Autolite said $7.89 I think I now was less than $8. Auto Zone said that they could not get them. NAPA said that they could but there would be a $7 order charge no matter how many I order. So I guess I will but a bunch or at least two sets _________________ Michael G.
