Two Sparkers (HMM)

An old pair of spark plugs, from a set of four, these were taken from my old retro car a few years ago during a sevice, not before time as can be viewed from the image, rusty, crusty and definitely needing replacement.

 

The car is a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 LS hatch back my daily driver, it's a 1996 model, and considering the age it's not too bad a drive really for a 26 year old motor.

 

These spark plugs are a Japanese brand NGK, they have 2 electrodes compared to the ordinary one electrode type.

 

Improving the electrical spark too the engine cylinders is a benefit to efficiently, starting and power!

 

Therefore improving pollution a fraction, so helping the environment.

 

I bought this car 10 years ago for £500 and it's still worth the same, now though every MOT is steadily getting more expensive with welding work being needed .... so it's probably getting nearer to the scrap yard as time passes by.

 

But I do like driving older cars, and would certainly miss the old girl when the scrapyard reclaims her for making new bean cans!

šŸ˜‚

These spark plugs are very thin, with the smaller diameter thread .... Total height of complete spark plug is 3 inches.

 

My image that can be seen is only half of the total plug height 1.5 inches from electrode to base of plug, so with negative space it's around 2.5 inches, so therefore well within the required measurement parameters of max 3x3 inches.

Love & Peace everyone! šŸ’–
