From the old Elgin site: ‘Over the years Sears recommended various Allstate, AC and Champion plugs for their motors. All of the 1946 – 1954 motors run well with modern Champion J11C plugs available at auto supply stores. The J11Cs come pre-gapped at 0.035″; this works fine for all the motors. The J11C is a little longer than the older spark plugs, and if your motor has a spark plug cover, care must be taken to make sure the spark does not jump to the cover’.

I’m not sure about that 0.035″ gap as it seems a bit wide to me. Anyway, here’s a link taking you to all the known alternative plugs for the Champion J11C.

My old info says that motor takes a Champion J-11-J.

Probably from when they mixed 30 W motor oil in with the gas. The C plug would be compatible with todays TCW III oil. Either way, it’s a nice hot plug.

Agreed, the old -J plugs have been discontinued and replaced with -C.
