Spark Plugs - Shorter for Headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

You might try the autolite racing plugs they are shorter for use with headers.

I just installed some new headers and my AC Delco R45TS spark plugs are too long and I cant get the plug wire on.
I need some shorter spark plugs.
I used some "U" Groove Accel plugs awhile back with my stock manifolds and remember them being fine, but I wanted to see what you guys are using and what you recommend.
Because of the close fit I am going to protect-a-boot all of them.
Brand name and part number will help.
Thanks,

i use the u grooves but i havent really tried anything else to compare them too they work fine just watch the tips on them because the can unscrew and become loose
