Counterfeit autolite spark plugs

[Chris142]

Another batch of plugs I believe to be counterfeit. They were a smoking deal so I took the chance.

Never seen autolite plugs in a white box.

LIkely is counterfeit, however....

White box could be from an overpack - a type of volume package that would be shipped to the OEM for production. So you might have 100 of those boxes in one big box for example.

I honestly do not know how spark plugs are shipped to the factory - engine assembly is something I have not worked on, however other parts do get shipped this way.

Retailer? Amazon or other?

Part number cross references to a copper plug. Hard to believe that someone would counterfeit a copper plug, or at least I have never heard of that happening.

It used to be you just had to know the good from the bad brands.
Now you have to know and be able to trust your sources.
My first rule, no auto parts from Amazon.
Also; If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Lots of Blown Fuel cars in the NHRA use AR5383 sparkplugs, to good effect.
