Re: spark plugs

Accell makes shorty plugs for increased header clearance, most parts shacks should have some. I've run them in the past & they worked fine.

Im not really sure of what you mean. Can you explain a little better? You mean the plug wire boots?

Just buy a set of shorty plugs and try them. A friend of mine had the same style heads on his 406 and the Accel's worked just fine with Hooker Super comps in a 73 camaro. If we could get plugs on that thing, you'll be fine.
