Header plugs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

marks1972 · 07-10-2010, 10:47 AM

I instaled a set of accel header plugs last night. They make a big difrence. About a half an inch. My plug wires used to be right next to the headers but with these shorter plugs now my wires are about a half inch away from the pipes on my headers. I would difenatly suggest these to anyone running headers. They only cost $30 at orillys auto they Cary them at most auto part stores.

I just did a head swap and I had to use 2 of these because the heads have the plugs in a different location and the wire would have been sitting directly on the header but they fit the bill perfectly.

they came in a pack of 8 so i just used all of them. besides i dont like to miss match plugs.

Last time I tried they did not. The only ones I could find were in Jegs catalog and they were $15.00 apiece.

15 is kinda steep thanks for the info

marks1972 · 07-11-2010, 05:59 PM

this is a picture after being instald. sorry i dont have a before picture that i am aware of. but if you look at the header you will see a mark. that is where the wire was right next to it with the old plug.

big mike71 · 07-11-2010, 06:10 PM

Do you have vortec heads?

'72customdeluxe · 07-11-2010, 06:17 PM

Just for another option, ngk's are short as well and cheaper

marks1972 · 07-11-2010, 06:25 PM

no mine are just the standard old school chevy heads. on the conversion chart the ones i got are compatable to:

AC R44TS / R45TS / CR45TS / AND 41-905

it has other bands on there to

there was another pack that said R43 that is all i remember

not sure what plugs vortec heads take

I run ACCEL Shorty plugs too.

I ordered mine from board member Mike's Bump & Grind Garage.

The total cost of the plugs, and delivery to my front door, was less than buying them locally.
All I can say is, "Great service."
