I can't answer specifically about the heads you list, but I can state that I have 1-3/4" SLP's and have used them with both Corvette aluminum and AFR 190's (both with angled plugs). I can use standard length spark plugs too, although some require the use of a modified spark plug socket.

Tom, if you haven't already, maybe you should post your question on the Tech/General engine board. You should see a better response rate there with this question.

I'd say so. I don't have any experience with the SLPs, but the full length 1-5/8 Hedmans with Sportsman IIs don't fit. Not w/o the short plugs. I've been told that unless you're looking for the extra 10 hp that the angles get you, just get straight plugs. A lot of the time angles make changing plugs easier, but most hedders are designed around straight plugs so they can get in the way of angle plugs.

I have canfield heads with angle plugs and they required me to put a dent in # 8 primary just to get the plug in,the boot has yet to arhc that i can tell but it does get pretty burned up.
And nobody yet has a 3/4 inch reach short spark plug
# 5 is also very very close.
But remember not all heads have plugs in same location.
A friend of mine uses dart angles and has no problem.

I know for a fact that the SLP shorties 1 3/4 will fit the Sportsman II angle plug heads. I had them.

I know for a fact that the SLP shorties will not work on the Brodix Track 1 heads. I have them. Thats why the turbo's are now bolted the the Track 1's.

Sorry, can't help with the AFR's.

Hope this helped.
