Make sure you use the "unobtainium" tip plugs or you will just have to do it again in 3000 miles!

don't forget the distributor cap and rotor!



somebody is messin with you, cause NO DIESEL has spark plugs.

diesel fuel is combustable. squeeze it hard enough it explodes. and that is exactly how a diesel fires. it sucks in air, squeezes it hard enough for diesel detonation, then it injects diesel into that already compressed cylinder which causes an explosion inside the cylinder giving you power.

spark plugs are only found on gasoline, propane, natural gas, and alcohol engines. you will never find them on diesel engines...


closest thing you might find are glow plugs which the dodge cummins engines do not use. they instead use an intake grid heater.

Op is trolling you all.

Cummins B series have just as many glow plugs as spark plugs.
