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

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

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 ?

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?

Thanks

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.

Would the same plugs work in the F-134 engine? Thanks, Kendall

The hotter 2245 is the correct plug for the F134.

I checked at my local Carquest and they can have them here tomorrow at $7.79 each in a box of 4.

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

It's a shame you don't have a Carquest in St Louis. It was 7.79 each period.
No extra charges.
