CAN YOU GET A "SIX POINT" SOCKET ON IT?

IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING A 12 POINT AND YOU HAVE MESSED UP THE POINTS OF THE SPARK PLUG.

INSURE THE SIX POINT IS THE CORRECT SIZE (CHECK IT WITH ANOTHER PLUG)

YOU MAY HAVE TO TAP IT (GENTLY WITH A HAMMER) OVER THE MUFFED UP PLUG TO GET IT FULLY ON THERE. USE AN EXTENSION IF IT'S HARD TO TAP ON THE SOCKET

GOOD LUCK! (I'M ROOTIN' FOR YOU)

LET US KNOW WHEN YOU GET IT

MY STEP-DAUGHTER "HAD" AN EXPLODER

KEY WORD

"HAD"

NOT BEING BOASTFUL OR NUTHIN'

I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT JEEP CJ-5s (ALSO HAVE A WILLYS) SINCE I STARTED BEING ALLOWED ON THE ASPHALT IN 1981

I'VE BEEN LOOKING OVER THAT SAME HOOD SHAPE, MIGHT NEAR EVERY DAY, FOR 34 YEARS.

IT'S GORGEOUS!

I'D DIE IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT SILHOUETTE TO GAZE OVER

BOTH OF 'EM WILL ALWAYS TURN HEADS, PARTS WILL ALWAYS BE PLENTIFUL, WOMEN CAN'T RESIST THEM OR THE "MANLY MAN" BEHIND THE WHEEL!

Just to add here, make sure the socket you are using has a thin enough wall to clear the sides and drop fully onto the plug.
