Actually,
some old International Harvester diesels did have spark plugs. They
started on gasoline and after they warmed up, the operator switched
them over to diesel :-)
Otherwise, this reminds me of a story.
When I was a teenager, my dad, who managed a large automotive machine
shop associated with an automotive and industrial parts store, got me a
summer job there as a parts guy.
One of the tricks pulled on new
guys was a customer or another salesman asking for a set of spark plugs
for a Cummins, a radiator cap for a Corvair or an oil pan gasket for a
Powerglide transmission.
All of which don't exist.
