McMaster Carr. Glass. Cutter. Square section o-rings. 1 stop shopping. I like the red lined glass they offer.

Thanks, dumb of me to not include the diameter.....I found a better unit and purchased it.
Thanks for the reply.

Thank you

Re: Bagley burner install
Tungsten rod of various diameters is readily available from welding supply stores. It's used as the electrode for TIG welding.

Re: Bagley burner install
New Model T coils are 80 bucks. Spark plugs are dirt cheap, some plug wire and 6 or 12 volt power source and you are good to go.
Re: Bagley burner install
John, I was just surfing and reread the above. I must say when the exhaust sucks out the flame I push the button and in less than a second it's lit. Now mind you I built a spark generator that ticks off a 100,000+ volt spark. The thing I built is smaller than a cagar box and the 4 "D" cells have been doing the job for more than 3 years.
PS
It sparks as long as I press the button.
Just saying

Re: Bagley burner install
Worrying about spark plugs in an oil flame...looking for ceramic and tungsten rods?
Anybody ever looked at what a spark plug is made from and what the operating conditions in which they are designed to operate?
I must be missing something in my old age...either that or plug design has changed in the 20 years since I had to change a set in one of my cars .

Too many things going on to bother listing them.
Re: Bagley burner install
I had the opportunity to view a spark plug in action. In a combustion chamber doing its thing. Until you have seen that you have no idea what happens, I sure didn't and I have never forgotten that experience it happened in 1961.
As far as a spark plug in an oil flame " I don't think 100,000 volts care".

Re: Bagley burner install
Glad you found something that works for you Tom. I was basing my choice on hauling the public on an 18" gauge rr, where I always tried to err on the conservative side. That said, I can't recall doing it after getting qualified, you get an ear for the fire thinning out in addition to keeping the light haze in the stack.Emfinger wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 5:01 pmJohn, I was just surfing and reread the above.
