I have this Spark Plug Speedometer that was in my 42 jeep. I am not sure if it still works. I did run it with a 18 volt drill (on lowest setting rpm) and it went to 20 mph without any hesitation. Two questions, how much are they worth and it there a better way to test it? My understanding is they were used in Chevy Cargo and GMC CCKW, DUKW trucks? Is that correct?
Would appreciate any information.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: SparkPlug Speedometer questions
Your Speedometer is an early AC, it was manufactured by AC SPARKPLUG. It was OEM to G-508 CCKW and G-506 Chevrolet.(OEM to Other WWII also.) If it runs smooth with no bouncing needle thru the complete range you could get $150.00, or more depending on how the fish are biting.
They went to a shorter counterbalance on the needle during 43. The shorter counterbalance end was black.
