Dave, somewhat fortunately my old Custom 8 has one of those relatively uncommon 356 heads that Packard cast in 1951 with 14mm plugs. I don't think these were made in large numbers. My chuck is brazed to an old sparkplug shell. I wonder if a solder joint would be strong enough - though on household copper plumbing (where the solder film in quite thin!) it easily takes the 100+ psi water pressure.
