I just figured out that there is some sort of adapter in my truck to convert civilian plug wires to screw onto the military distributor. Has anyone else seen something like this? They are machined steel and really seem to do the trick, they even seal up! Just curious if these were made by someone or if they were something that was sold for these trucks to "civilianize" them later on. Also would there be any interest in me making sets of these? I have access to a full machine shop and i could pop out a bunch of these fairly quickly. Heres some pictures of them, what do you think?

GOOD MORNING,
I for one would be interested in a set, depending on the price. i put about 1500 miles per year on my M, so I have not had an issue with the orig plugs yet. If I could use cevie plugs and save the set of steel plugs; that would work for me.
THANKS BOB LOKEYNYC@AOL.COM

I could use a set. Count me in.

Yep, I would be interested also.
Are you able to fabricate the insulated parts also?

well see about the rubber boot. I will go see a buddie of mine who owns a napa store and steal his book for a little while. Ill find the rubber parts for them, ive actually seen them before but i cant remember for the life of me what on. Ill get a few sets made up as soon as i can!

The rubber pieces look like faucet washers. The metal piece looks like the connector on a cannon plug from a radio set. Not sayin' they are...just sayin' they look like...

They look like aircraft magneto to plug wire parts. The red rubber parts look like the seal boots that go on Slick aircraft plug wires. Take them to your local small airport and show them to the mechanic and see what he can match up..

Awesome! I knew i have seen something like that before! Ill run down and talk to the local FBO and see what he has to say about it. Thanks for the tip!

Here's a few examples of the common aircraft harness parts available.
