And now, AutoLite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspense! Tonight, AutoLite brings you Mr. Robert Montgomery in... The Thing in the Window. A suspense play, produced and directed by Antonim Leader. AutoLite has been getting letter after letter from car owners who have switched from narrow gap spark plugs spark plugs to wide gap auto light resistor spark plugs.

And they all agree that wide gap auto light resistor spark plugs make their cars idle smoother, give better performance with leaner gas mixtures, actually save gas dollars. And here's another amazing fact. These folks noticed that wide gap auto light resistor spark plugs actually cut down spark plug interference with radio and television reception.
