Who is running AFR 190 heads???????

I have a set of the AFR 190 straight plug heads. Any of you AFR guys using a shorty spark plug? If so which model? I have a problem with cylinder # 7. It's way too close to the header pipe.

Help!!

Phil,

Here is a link to a thread from a couple months ago, check it out. Look at my very first post in the thread about shortening standard plugs. It's what I had to do, and it works out to a gain of about 3/16ths of an inch. Not much of a gain, but better than what you have now.

And to answer your question, Accel doesn't make a "shorty" style gasket plug as of yet.....This much I know. And, I'm not yet aware of anyone ELSE that makes a gasketed shorty style plug.
