Shorty Plugs???
I have a set of edelbrock performer rpm aluminum heads and the PO put in a set of E3 spark plugs and the #5 spark plug wire burnt to a crisp. What does everyone run for shorty plugs or shorter plugs on aluminum heads and edelbrock headers???

I know on steel heads you can use accell shorty ones but on aluminum you have to run 14mm .750 length with the washer not the tapered style. What are the NGK part numbers?

I really like the heads....they' are great for the price. When I bought mine they were actually Canfield built heads with the Jegs logo on them. I talked to the guy who built them for Jegs when I was trying to find some parts. Now it's someone else that builds them....not sure who it is though.

I've use NGK UR5 - Part# 2771 (Autozone $17 for a set) cant beat it!

Think I might go ahead and wrap my headers while im at it. Gotta pull em off to change header gaskets anyway. Figure it couldnt hurt.

On another note i did drop by oreilly's at lunch today and they did have some mesh type spark plug boot covers so im gonna try them first. 2 were 20$. Kinda pricey so hopefully theyll work. at least long enough for some better headers.
