    I'm using Autolite 3076 plugs in my 1916 J. I just got 2 sets from NAPA, which is the easiest, and cheapest source I have found.

        I know '15, and '16 are virtually the same cylinder, with a few minor differences, and they both take the same size spark plug.

            I know the green Splitdorf plug was the default plug for Excelsior, but I'm not sure about H-D. I have a set of Splitdorfs that I used in my '16J and they worked good. They look like a very high quality plug.

                I wonder what the brand of spark plug item #110 was? Great looking plug, and a long reach too. Thanks Roger.

                    I think I paid about $2.75 for the Autolites I just got. At .75cents that CICO plug was very expensive in it's day. Somebody that was good at math could probably tell us what the equivalent of .75cents in 1915 would be in 2016
