Every kit I find has all 2” plugs? Non of the local parts store have the smaller plug,any help would be greatly appreciated .
Can’t believe I can’t find the correct kit ,the block is stamped built in 1980

is this the right plug?


It says it’s for a intake and noncompatible for the 258. However, it reads as if it would work..

This is WHY a completed, nice, clean, well done, good running AMC is so "respectable"... Thumbs Up

Try Jeep searches. There is Dorman 557-017 or 567-017 for a 258/4.2 engine.

These kits all contain the same size plugs like the one I purchased. I’m needing the two smaller plugs to complete it. The local auto parts shops have no idea 
This really should be elementary

can't you just buy generic Dorman plugs? by size? there's nothing special about the AMC here.
