    Just today I walked in Napa with an old plug, wich I was lucky that it still had the size clearly stamped, even after rusting up. There 1-45/64 and ordered me 8 in brass, ill have them tomorrow morning. I notice the kit at Cars.Inc has more plugs than needed..Thanks for the response.

    Yes,I had the same problem with my one,no matching plug in the Set and not to get here in germany.
    No reference to other Vehicle builder,include the trucks.
    The only chance to got one is to manufacture it on a turning machine ..

    What is "Cars" , and what for a Kit is it ?
    We here can order easy,safe,without any problems and quick from rockauto.
    Somebody of you knows a kit where this rare plug size is included ?
    I had heard from a chrysler kit where its included,had ordered it, AND ? it wasnt.
    It would be nice to know where to get this easily.
