thorley headers on a 67-72 sbc

[72blue]

Is anyone running these on angle plug heads? I am running a set of canfield's and when I bought the headers they said "fit most angle plug heads." That being said, I know I am not the only sap that chose angle plug heads of some sort and thorley headers...I hope. Anyway, the #5 plug is problematic; close to the header tube and I was thinking of the "shorty plugs" and not sure just exactly how much shorter they really are. Accel says (and I an awaiting them to answer my question as to how much shorter their plug that compares to the autolite 3924 canfield recommends really is) their shorty plugs are 3/16" to 3/8" shorter than the plugs that the shortys replace. So if anyone is in the same boat as I, what did you do? I am entertaining the idea of putting my ram horns back on if I cannot keep from frying a plug wire every few weeks or so.

Thanks to all
James
