I'd suggest you run a wanted ad here and on the Ford Club sites. Those plugs are "out there". Be prepared to call as soon as you see them advertised.

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
How do I run a wanted post? Is there a wanted section of the forum? Or just here? Thanks

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
So you felt good about the poor judging?

Mike, I believe that you may be confusing the EFV8CA Concourse with the AACA Concourse rules. The EFV8CA Operational Check, performed on the several days before the Concourse, checks, as the title suggests, that all systems are functional, the honor system serving for functionality of the windshield wipers. This separation of functionality and correctness judging leaves plenty of time to change out plugs, carburetors, voltage regulators, fan belts, and whatever the hell else to dummy units used for show only. It always riled me to witness this shameful process happening on the Judging Field, a clear violation of the rules, as the car is to be driven onto the field, rather than to be assembled on the field. In expressing my opinion on this matter, I should emphasize that I believe that it's the rules that need an adjustment to fit the practice, in order to bring a measure of honor to the Concourse that is lacking at present.

I never understood how anyone could feel good about scoring points that they (obviously) should not have. Kind of like cheating and winning in my opinion. How can a guy feel good about that?

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
Not gonna lie I’ve done it when I had a 40 pickup. It was a super nice restored truck that did win a Dearborn award at Dearborn 2018. I didn’t want to drive it with a set of $500 spark plugs so I borrowed a set of nos ones and changed them on the field. I have a set “somewhere” and if I can find them I’d gladly lend them to you and let you start the car and drive with them.

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
My Dearborn wagon, scored far enough over the 950, I could have left the Bob Drake headlights installed that I use when I drive the car. I paid $1500 for a pair of NOS script 40 bulb in metal back correct headlights and I don't feel like I somehow cheated by swapping those Drakes out on the concourse for the new ones, and the Drakes back in before a tour. seems like an unnecessary risk. I never argue with judges having judged 32-34 many times at National Meets I let them do their work and let the deductions fall where they may..

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
I couldn't resist. I have a set of Coke Bottle plugs in the display engine going to the museum. A couple of them have some unwanted pitting on them. Anybody have some unpitted ones for sale?? I don't really care about the part that don't show. Well, I do care but that won't worry me a lot.

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
And here I thought the Corvette guys judging wheel weights was extreme.

Re: Champion H10 coke bottle spark plugs
Kinda why I quit going to the big car shows. Too many trailer queens, car show politics and anal retentive folk.
Don't get me wrong, the local shows are great with great people. |

Personally, I am getting tired of judging as there are more and more guys that want to "win" yet don't want to spend the money and / or labor to restore their car correctly. So we should change the rules so everyone wins? Don't like the rules? Don't play the game. Pretty simple methinks.

You make an excellent point with which I agree. You will not stop dishonesty with additional rules. However, with further clarity of existing rules, those who continue to scoff will find it more difficult to do so. An important point to remember is that Judging Standards rules are not changeable on a whim, to be changed again when found to not solve a problem.

There are far more driver cars at a national meet these days than trailer queens or high point judged cars. 80% are not going to be dearborn judged. In fact in about 10 national meets I've attended, I haven't seen much show politics or anal retentive folks that caused the meet to not be a good time. |
