                  The above information taken from a Champion Spark Plug data sheet published in 1970.  One needs to keep in mind that the very early jump spark engines used ½" NPT plugs like the Ford, Model T  "X" plug.  Early engines such as the NL, NR, PNR and ZR series used 7/8" plugs such as the W-18.  Later production used 18 MM plugs such as the D-14 or D-16  Things like heat range were never even a consideration in these engines.  The YT series will be found with heads using either 7/8" or 18mm plugs. So use this data with attention to the actual dimension of the threaded hole in the engine.
