Spark plugs wont fit!!!!

New engine...........
World Products S/R Torquer heads.... straight angle plugs
SLP TRI-Y headers

The stock ac delco or any other "stock replacemant" brand will not fit on like four of the cylinders.... they hit the headers before you can even line them up to start screwing them in!!!! what can i do????

The bosch platinum spark plugs are shorter than the AC delco's,
you can try those and see if they will fit.

I would try the above mentioned. I used Accel shorty plugs once, but the tips keep coming loose, and happens to many others too.

I was going to say use the Accel shorty plugs like Mark said, but if the tips come loose. . . well, I've had no problems w/my Accel regular length U-grooves, anyway.

i haven't had any problems with my accel shorty plugs.. except the autozone which wanted $160 for the package.. (they thought it was $20 per plug instead of $20 per package of plugs.) went to O'Reilys and got some from there..

you will probably have to get a shorty plug socket though. or make one like did cutting about half and inch off the end of one socket and just using a wrench to turn it.
