I inherited one of these from my grandpa 40 years ago, and I use it regularly. The C in "AC" is designed to pry the ground strap without touching the electrode.
Wow, I have one of these and didn't know that! Mine needs a date with the wire brush, it's a bit grungy. I have one of the silver dollar size round gap gauges in the toolbox too, and that's what I used on my trucks. The AC plugs I got from RA for Rawhide were really close to the specified gap, but I was taught to always check them(so I do). I've seen too many that have been dropped....

Useless Trivia:

What does the "AC" represent?








Albert Champion, who was sorta-kinda on his third spark-plug company. Given the quality of Champion spark plugs, it's not surprising that he was a bicycle enthusiast.

Replaced spark plugs and wires today. Was a little bit surprised to se this. But the shorter NGK plugs got the boots further away from the Exhaust manifold and fit better where the dip stick tube is partially blocking access to one of the plugs.
