You know what? I bet it's the coil

Sounds like the kanerter valve acting up.

Negative. Coils never go out.

Was told by my engine guy that an Autolite 26 was the plug to use. That was the second one that didn't fit. NGK is supposed to make a v power plug that is really short. I know that the autolite is a heat range 6, and the NGK UR6 is, too. I need to find a UR6 and see if its shorter than the autolite.

I just read the last couple pages of your build here, but in the off chance my random interjection can help. I know Accel makes a plug that may solve you're problem. It's a "Shorty" plug, just for header clearance.

Great lookin truck ya got there!

~Whitey~ · 01-22-2013, 10:43 AM

hang in there man.. Truck is too close and looks too good to get all frustrated now! You're doing a great job.

shawno72 · 01-22-2013, 10:56 AM

I use the Accel shorty header plugs makes all the difference. Your local parts store whole have them.

Thanks everyone! I was just a little worse for wear last night. I just picked up some ngk race plugs that aree as short as the accels and in the right heat range. They came highly recommended by the nova and chevelle guys, who are used to dealing with clearance issues. I will have an update later.

THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!

Looking forward to seeing how that first drive goes. You and the TN crew have been hard at it!

Xeen · 01-22-2013, 11:52 AM

Hell yeah NGK for the win, I've got my fingers crossed.

JRANGER · 01-22-2013, 02:16 PM

You can do it!!!!

**thelonerife** · 01-22-2013, 02:16 PM

And just think, I could've gotten another project cheap and bought some plugs. And run it up and down Clardy Rd a few times every Saturday. LOL. j/k Matt I wouldn't do that to ya.

Hang in there. You'll find the right one and buy 16 of them.

**thelonerife** · 01-22-2013, 03:15 PM

JRANGER · 01-22-2013, 04:20 PM

Ok. PLUGS ARE IN, GAPPED, AND READY TO CRAP! lol it rhymed! I gotta get the driver side header bolted back on, but the exhaust has it in a bind, so I need to unbolt the collector to get header bolts started. I will do that soon. Had to call it a night, still figting the funk and didn't want to overdo it.

cubber · 01-22-2013, 10:01 PM

BTW,, plugs fit great. Not a ton of room on some, but not touching, either. I have boots on #5 and #6 for good measure, but I have seen them closer with no boot. I had em, so I threw em on!
