Mike,
Here are a couple photos of some of the engines I still need to do. Also need to restore one of Gerry Waldmans Sid hydros.

I have a brand new pair of R-7 Champion's, one with red writing on the porcelain, one with black. Any chance someone might be able to tell year of manufacture by the writing and color?

That's the one's I referred to Sam. I had been thinking of a plug wrench about 1 or 1 1/8". Could you post a pic of one laid next to a standard plug?

Here you go

Check these two plugs out. Bill Curtis, AKA "POP" Curtis, Boat 990, gave me these two Factory Serviced plugs today...As I recall, you'd send them a box of used plugs and they'd return them prepaid freight in these white boxes...Seemed they were sand blasted or something...

Yes, Wayne, "standard" was 18mm, one inch wrench. All real engines had 18 mm plugs until that guy from Wisconsin started using the tiny (14mm) plugs. He started a new fad. You want an 18mm? I'll send you a brand new one, still in the box. The box is a little decayed and the steel part of the plug is rusted. Email me your address and I send it to you. You're too old to be pulling this "standard" crap on me.

I selll them for two bucks to my friends---to you it's $25 (kidding--I'll send you one)

18mm is not 1 inch from what I remember. 26mm was closer. 18mm was close to 11/16 as 19mm was close to 3/4............................

Not talking about the conversion size, but the wrench size for the hex on the plugs. 14mm plugs have 13/16 hex, 18mm plugs have 1" hex

Yeah Russ...That would be great! I'll send you my address. I will put it in a frame in my boat racing museum with your name on it, but I would also like to extend an invitation to come look at it in the future. If you would commit, I DO KNOW that I could finally get Joe Rome down here at the same time..

BTW. I need to know where to send a pic from the reunion to you for your autograph unless you have one you want to make a copy of to sign and send to me. I would be greatly honored.

I had my post wrong from the start as you can see at the bottom where I editted it and claimed my stupidity. It is a 1" wrench for the 18mm plugs. I wasn't thinking...........Sorry about that.

Picked up the A quicy looper from Charlie Miller. Droped it off at Doug Kay's to make sure its good inside. Will post photos after its disassemble. The propshaft has been cut down to the A/B/C diameter from the normal D size. Also need to fabricate a new cavation plate for the engine. Dose anyone have a closeup of the A setup?
