Found these in the bottom of an old box.
Something to do with sparkplug wires ???
I've never seen these before.

How big are they. The look like spark plug connectors to me.

I don't remember the correct nomenclature, but they are used on spark plug wires to reduce spark interference on your radio.

Could'a used 'em my early-mid '60s driving to high school in the '40 half-ton pickup's 49 Plymouth massive radio so large I kept it on the passenger floor. (99.9% buzzzzzz) depending upon the revs of the flathead.

When I got my very original '51 Club Coupe in 1987, it had one of those in the wire between the coil and the distributor. The car always ran a little sour back then, and removing the suppressor cleared it up. Please note : This was an original "radio delete" car.
