    If it's an 18mm plughole, start with a Champion D-16 or equivalent. Won't hurt it at all.

      Standard H-D plug was a 3-4. The equivalent is a Champion J12Y. The standard iron heads on a '67 are 14mm, unless they have been changed to earlier aluminum heads which are 18mm size. #2 H-D were used on city traffic engines to prevent fouling on continued low speed use.

          Pan620,
          Make sure you use the short reach plugs. H-D also sold a long reach 3-4 which will not work in your GE.

              Just acquired a '66 GE police trike.
              Its spark plugs are marked Champion J16C.
              Good to use?
              What spark plug would be recommended for occasional short distance riding?
              Thank you.
