Default Spark plug for flamer kit...

Which plug and nut do I need>>

I don't want a welded boss in the tailpipe, just literally the plug with a nut the other end

Cheers

p.s, having difficulty finding a nut to match the plug I have - NGK car spark plug

James,

Any plug will do, and Mike can supply you with the washer to use........

U need a plug,nut to weld into the rear Back Box(roughly 6" from end),HT Lead going from the plug to your spare wheel well, which is connected to a black box .....wires from this connect via a switch (on dashboard) to the battery therefore adding current to the plug, it can be turned on when required or can be wired into the turbo timer so it's always on while the car is, any unburnt fuel exiting the car ignites, works better on Turbo cars that are running a bit rich

New NGK9 spark plug for flamer kit, you're kidding Tony right?

I has a normal everyday plug in last exhaust (which I sold with plug and nut still in) hence the need for fitting the new one

God I hate to post this, as I feel REALLY sad, BUT, when I used to run one on my Sapphire (10 years ago I would hasten to add ), I just used the old plugs that came out of the engine, as they aren't under any load . Obviously the washer that holds the plug in place comes with our flamer kits .
