Speed Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi everyone; Hope you all had a fun Christmas! I'm trying to find out what spark plugs my 1940 EH should have. I'm hoping to have a new set with me when I go after the truck,so if they aren't in stock in the parts stores I won't have to wait for them to arrive. If anyone can tell me what plugs it came with,maybe I can cross reference up a set of Bosch Platinums for it. (I run Bosch Platinum plugs in ALL my stuff.) I'm also expecting to have to rebuild the carb,so if you can tell me what carb this truck has,or a part number for the rebuild kit,that'd be a huge help too. I've already discovered none of the parts stores even have any references to parts for ignition and fuel systems parts in their books. Looks like I'll have to get my own set of parts books for it,huh?

truxnut Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 It should use Champion D-14 or D-16. Doubt that Bosch even makes that in Platium. Quote John Evans, Trucks & Dogs are expensive!!

Speed Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 It should use Champion D-14 or D-16. Doubt that Bosch even makes that in Platium. Probably not,but it couldn't hurt to have a look...Thanks for the info -if I don't find 'em in Bosch,I can at least pick up a set of these for it.

Speed Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Well,here's what I found;Champion D-16 is a Bosch M10ACO,AC C-87,Autolite 386,NGK A-6,and Denso L14U,L14RU,and/or M17,depending on what brand you cross from. Couldn't find a way to cross to a Bosch Platinum. It's amazing how few online parts suppliers have provision for us to shop by part number.Pretty near everything I found required that I give a make,model,year,etc. but NONE even showed ,let alone a 1940 . Maybe I need to get me some new search engines...

I'm going to talk to a guy I know with a lathe tomorrow to see if he could do this.
