Re: Cubber's Build Thread
Sorry, fellas. Slight tantrum there. It's just frustrating to know that there are tons of vehicles out there with the same issue, and when you try to find a plug in the same heat range but shorter, its like its never been done before. I told my wife that I was gonna take tonight off because I'm still not 100%, but that truck sitting out there being this close just aggravates the living you know what outta me.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
What are you running? 383 with headers...can't be that difficult to find someone with a similar setup. The part store guys can usually only help you if they can look it up in their computer. Find a practical application - like you said, tons of vehicles are out there. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction Matt. Keep Calm and Truck On!

It will be alright Matt, once we get this figured out and you're driving the truck you'll be laughing at this moment.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
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.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
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.
http://accel-ignition.com/ignition-e...ark-plugs.html Great lookin truck ya got there!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
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! Posted via Mobile Device
