REFLECTOR: Automotive / aviation ignition harness

[steve korney]

Ronnie...

Autolite 386 plugs are 18 mm and fit into the older lycoming cylinder spark 
plug holes...  The new lycoming cylinders have a 14 mm spark plug hole and 
take an extended reach 3/4 inch auto plug...

Best... Steve

Wasn't your old engine a Lycoming 360?  If so, what was the part number for 
the auto plugs you were using?
