RE: [T3] Stripped Spark Plug


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Keep an eye on the insert. I had one in my '64 bus
that would loosen up every 1000 miles or so and
unexpectedly pop out of the head. Thread it back
in and away we went! Lasted the 4 years I had
that bus (still wish I had kept it).

It was the threaded type.

Thank goodness.

to. 
No problem.
