Just transfer the rubber gasket off the old (screw-in) plug and yo should be good to go?!
Just for fun, the owner should run a spark plug wire to it from some inaccessible spot on the engine, then take it in for an oil change.
I knew I was saving all those old spark plugs for something.
Added to my list of adaptables.
Not sure but I don’t think a spark plug would be leak proof. But then it would be better than the open hole.
Of course it would, it has a tapered seat and it has to be able to withstand the rather large pressure impulse when the gas detonates.
I could see installing that in a gas tank of certain people, then connecting it to a distributor.
What’s a “distributor”?
Making do with what you have on hand is a lost art in most of citified America.
We who grew up when you “made do” with materials on hand and instinctively packrat tons of such loose “stuff” because it could be handy some day, will become the tinker/mechanic/repair guys in the neighborhood right quick when the SHTF and barter/trade for services will be more accepted than worthless cash.
Hope we never get to this stage, but best be prepared to the extent possible.

Hunger made the monkey eat pepper, its coming, was at The Neighborhood Wal-Mart yesterday, certain shelves were looking kind of bare.

Only downside I see is that it is maaaybe more likely than a bolthead to be damaged by rocks (don’t live on a very good road (no, really, just ask the guys at the local tire shop(Hey, you know what we fkund in your tire? A rock!))). Not likely to get hit hard enough to cause it to fail to maintain the seal, though.
