So I built this 500 stroker some 10 years ago and it has been sitting on the stand. I bought a set of Headers at a mopar swap meet for it a couple years ago they are 2 inch slip fit tube headers, never knew of the brand, never checked.

dropped the engine in recently and put headers on...but um spark plug clearance is a little tight.

So it made me look to see what kind of headers these are and I think I found them. These look like them.

Anyone else run this combo what'd you do for plugs? Im trying to find shorter plugs but the accel's don't say they are any shorter than the champion rc12yc that edelbrock recomends. Any help would be useful. If more info is needed let me know.

Anyway I found some accel shorts 0416S give me about 1/8th of an inch more clearance. With a lil dent on the headers and a ceramic sleeve over my taylot 10.4 thundervolts i should be okay. if not I will have to save up for TTI headers.

Thanks for the help.
