Default Champion Plug # W18

Is this plug still available or has it been replaced, and if so, what is the new #?

Thanks.

If you still have soot issues on your plugs and you've tweaked the timing and carb enough to know they are OK, then the W18 or 518 is the plug to go to? Running Motorcraft TT10's now.

Its good to see that a model A parts vendor is now offering the Champion W18 spark plugs. They all should !!! The W18 is the best spark plug for the driver model A considering the way most are driven.
