- Champion N9YC Racing Spark Plug, 1960-1980 - Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine's cylinders. High voltage jumps across a gap between two electrodes on the plug's bottom and creates a spark. Racing spark plugs are optimized for maximum performance and durability in race conditions, where engines run at high speeds and high temperatures.

- 10 Millionth Catalytic Converter Built by AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors, 1976 - Fighting air pollution required changes in car design and gasoline. General Motors developed the first practical catalytic converter, which turned automobile exhaust into less-harmful gases, in response to the Clean Air Act of 1970. Beginning in 1975, federal regulations required catalytic converters and phasing-out of leaded gasoline, which interfered with the converters' operation.
