Need spark plug size info
This is for totally non vette related spark plug, but I need basic info
I need spark plug numbers, or brand (I dont care what brand, make, heat range, reach,etc)
that would take the typical 5/8 size socket to remove
Actually, if you can positively identify a make/model/size engine hat takes this basic size, that would be even better

Most ANY GM motors use 5/8" tools. Are there any other limiting factors? Maybe plug length? What's it gonna be used for?

Fellas,
Heres the deal. I wish I had my tools with me know, since Im embarrassed...............
I have done so much wrenching, its become automatic, so I just dont remember the actual size
Here is what I need, in basic terms, (not remembering actual sizes, and I could be wrong on the 5/8 thing
There are two basic size spark plug sockets out there. There is a large one, and a smaller one
I need spark plugs that would fit the larger one....Again, I dont care about heat range, or length of reach, etc
That being said, if you could tell me what make/models might cover this "large spark plug socket category" is enough.............

Chevys had a 5/8" and a 13/16" hex plug, depending on year. However, there is a lot of differences beyond that.
First there is heat range. Too hot or too cold and you have problems running, or even getting running.
Length is a factor. Some extend further in, which means in the wrong engine, the piston can hit the plug and could damage the engine.
You need to have more information than this.
