Need Help with B29 Auxilary Power Unit (APU)

[two feathers]

Last week I bought a nice running 1942 B29 APU form an elderly gentleman. The generator was removed and misplaced years ago but it starts very easy using a pull rope. The original avaition spark plugs and shielded plug wires were also repalced by a previous owner with conventional ones. I would like to install correct military aviation spark plugs and wires. I see on Ebay there are many avaiaton spark plugs for sale but I need to know what style or part number is correct. Does anyone know what manufacturer and plug number is correct for my APU and where I might get them....as well as the correct plug wires? Where can I get a maintenamce/service manual for this unit?
Thanks for any help!!!

Just don't leave it running in your B29 and try to fly! That's what burned the Greenland recovery B29 right up, the APU tipped over and burst into flames.
