I HAD to look up Polonium. Looks like it might have been a semi-snake oil item like the magnets for your fuel lines to improve fuel economy but may have temporally worked. Alfred Matthew Hubbard who had a noted prototype was an early LSD proponent, go figure!

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium# ... d_toxicity
Polonium spark plugs were marketed by Firestone from 1940 to 1953. While the amount of radiation from the plugs was minuscule and not a threat to the consumer, the benefits of such plugs quickly diminished after approximately a month because of polonium's short half-life and because buildup on the conductors would block the radiation that improved engine performance. (The premise behind the polonium spark plug, as well as Alfred Matthew Hubbard's prototype radium plug that preceded it, was that the radiation would improve ionization of the fuel in the cylinder and thus allow the motor to fire more quickly and efficiently.)
