terrible choice ,  I have  over 60 of them here, new ones  they most ALL  have bad seals and the plugs leak around the post, then the  blow out
I carry many brand and  have better plugs here
What are you looking  to run them in, and for what?
I sell  Merlin Plugs
if you want
I can list good plugs for you

They were terrible in the 50's and 60's but they were .39 cents. Tried one or 2 when I came back to C/L for a nostalgia buzz and then gave them out to the people who are always borrowing stuff from you.
I believe that they also made the OK models plugs. The Fireball plugs were selling for awhile at $28.00 a dozen .

What Randy said. You can do a lot better than Fireball glowplugs, IMO. Since the demise of Hobby People and thus Thunderbolt glowplugs, I'd go with K&B or SIG glowplugs...or whatever Randy suggests that ain't Fireballs...  #^ Steve
