>> Michael,
>> Without looking into my reasons, my summary sheet notes the 33 was used

>> I have a Champion box in my collection that says made for the JD Tractor
>> Company and the end flap has printed C1-600-R, Champion #33 - an
>> interesting
>> way to write C1600R, since the 7/8" plug was the AC-600-R.
>> Yes, depending on the general condition it should work to separate and
>> clean
>> the 33's.  I use a deep well 6 point 13/16 socket on the gland and hold
>> the
>> plug shell in the vise.  If it doesn't come, use some heat on the gland.
>> You probably haven't heard, but Doug Windrem died unexpectedly of a heart

>> Portland.
