FOUND Splitdorf Whistle Spark Plug
Looking for a Splitdorf plug in 1/2" pipe thread made for an explosion whistle. All you plug collectors or hoarders in general, here is a chance to make some money!

Re: WTB Splitdorf Whistle Spark Plug
Thank you Dusty, I won't give up the hunt!
Yes sir, that's the plug. I have a few but am missing an example of that one.

Re: WTB Splitdorf Whistle Spark Plug
My eyes are not as good as they used to be but do those look like they are welded on to the plug body?

Re: FOUND Splitdorf Whistle Spark Plug
Willy, here is a decent video showing a single note whistle being used: https://youtu.be/-9BmAR7LUfs?feature=shared
They are colloquially known as a “chicken horn”.
The whistles themselves are all over T-Bay, and the spark plug adapters for a regular T plug are plentiful. Both the whistles and adapters were recently reproduced.
