Are AL #45s still available? I thought I read somewhere a while back that they were discontinued.


Autozone has them in stock.  I read Autolite's parent company is bankrupt.

SPARK PLUGS – AUTO-LITE

I am slowly moving away from Auto lite to NGK on the shop-built engines due to having a better heat range selection with NGK’s as well as having some brand new Auto-lites not firing from the git go. The Auto-lites have been coming from both Mexico and China, but it is the China made Auto lite spark plugs that I have had trouble with. It seems to be potluck at the parts store on which country of origin the Auto-lite spark plugs are from. I now do a mandatory ohm check on the new spark plugs before installing them.

Can you find the NGK's in different heat ranges?   I was looking for WR6 and could not find them

I was going to buy Autolite plugs from Walmart, but they raised the price. I ended up buying NGK plugs from RockAuto (best price at the time). My NGK plugs are V-Power Resistor Type plugs, WR5 2438.

Just installed a set of NGK WR5's in my 312 and so far very satisfied. Resistance reading 10% within 5000 ohms - that's very good.
