The AGR-42 is the old Autolite number. Ford (US) still
makes many of the old Autolite plugs under the name
"Motorcraft", still using the original Autolite number.
Ford purchased Autolite in '61, about which time MoPar
switched to Champion plugs as original equipment. Ford
sold off the Autolite name about '71 but continued
building various items under the Motorcraft name.
