Very old Detroit Diesels had spark plugs. I was getting a new head for a 16v92 at Stewart & Stevenson in Galveston (I think) many years ago and there was an ancient shrimper in buying spark plugs for his equally ancient boat. I waited till he had left before I asked the parts man about the purchase. He told me that some of the old Detroits (or whatever their name was way back then) in the from the 30's had spark plugs to help them get started.
