The thread size for Model T Ford spark plugs varied depending on the year of production. For the earliest 1909 Model Ts built in the fall of 1908, Ford used a 3/8 NPT (National Pipe Tapered) spark plug. However, before the advent of calendar year 1909, Ford changed to a larger size 1/2 NPT spark plug. Therefore, the thread size for Model T Ford spark plugs is either 3/8 NPT or 1/2 NPT, depending on the year of production.
