Actually Lynn, most of the British engines at that time (WW2) were 14mm plugs. It was only old Henry Ford who was still using 18mm, also in his tractors at that time. Talk about a "stick in the mud", Fords continued until the late '50's with 3 speed, side-valve cars..............oh thats another subject
