 This guide has been prepared by David Armstrong and lists the various spark plugs originally fitted to a number of common Austin Seven heads. David points out that some of the plug numbers are old obsolete ones which could be cross referenced to modern ones. Some discussion on using current spark plug types has taken place in the discussion forum on this site over the years - just use the 'Search' feature on the site and look for spark plugs....... I believe the NGK A6 is very commonly used as a modern replacement.
