fxfymn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 What model engine is it? The model should be on the front right part of the block.Try posting pictures of the engine as well.Write to the Mack Museum with the chassis number and they will send you a manual with the plug numbers, carb. model used, etc. It is free, but a suitable donation is appropriate to keep this valuable resource around.

Maddog13407 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Champion J8C's for spark plugs or even something hotter as they always like to foul out #2 and #4. hotter coils helps to. the carbs show up on ebay every so often, its a Zenith downdraft two barrel, pretty common.
