Angle plug heads ?

Hey all. I just found out the trick flow 23 degree heads have angle plugs. Does anyone run these heads with Edelbrock headers ? I'm worried they wont fit and I might have to get some really short plugs.

I think the new design angle plugs have quite a bit less angle than the originals.

In most cases, they fit with 90 degree boots and in some cases short plugs. I had the 1 3/4 inch hooker supercomps on a set of Track1s with angle plugs (and they really have some angles), and the #3 hole was the only real close one.

normally, the problem comes when you try to change plugs. A socket will not fit on most combinations and you end up using a 5/8 or 13/16 boxend.
