 Topic: Allis Chalmers B Plug wire

My "new" B runs very rough. I will change the plugs but wonder if the plug wires are going to the correct plug. Anyone have a diagram? Thanks

Plugs and wires are only half of the ignition system. Might not solve your problem. Might as well replace distributor cap, rotor, points and condenser at the same time.
Rough running can also be a fuel issue. Also recommend getting your carb cleaned/rebuilt, as well as cleaning out the gas tank and putting a new screen in the sediment bowl.

A rough running engine could mean anything from needing a full tune-up to a tight or bad valve. If it happens to have Champion plugs in it, that could be your problem. Take them out and throw em' away and put a real set of sparklers in there like Autolites, AC's or NGK's. Autolite 295's can be used with worn engines. Autolite 303's can be used with a new rebuilt engine. If Magneto equipped, use solid core wires with 295 Autolites. If you need any tune-up parts or wires, visit our website. We can help ya out.....
