Didn't have time to read all of the last comments but how does an engine act with firing auto plugs with a magneto?

At the cost of aviation shielded plugs, changing to auto plugs is an incentive. Any need to change plug gaps?

First problem, the ignition harness will not work with auto plugs. To make things simple, just get LSE's CDI dual system, Dynon EFIS D10A or whatever EFIS you like and be done with "the Past".

Hey Bob..NOPE AGAIN !. ..the WIRES ends are different and each engine is designed or reguires a specific aircraft plug.The "reach" or distance the plug sticks down into the cylender is different on some plugs. Also There is a "Heat range"for different plugs as I remember (Can anyone out there add to this..I forgot what I knew!)..
Having said all that .some of the older aircraft, Tcraft ect. used iesman mags and DID use auto spark plugs.They worked for low , slow older aircraft but were not considered a great mag.

One of th4 things I've never tried to do is replace the plugs on a plane with anything other than the same type of plugs that came off. Generally we used to inspect and clean the plugs every 50 hr. (commercial) and return them to service. At better than $50.00 a pop we weren't too interested in swapping plugs at the drop of a hat. the one rule we did use was if we dropped a plug, the never happened, the second drop would be in the oval filing cabinet.

Good stuff but not why I'm replying... As I said I never replaced a plug with anything but the same type. so I am wondering if the thread and reach of an automotive plug will even fit into the hole??

Just as a matter of interest, Great Plains, Boys Town, NE, does offer an adapter for a shielded harness to auto plugs. Have not used them but it's a great idea.
