Shorty spark plugs?

Right now I am using Accel shorty plugs part# 276S but I am looking for a short plug with 1-2 heat ranges colder. Does anyone know of someone who makes them?

They are only about 1/4-1/2 inch shorter. They really help to reduce burnt plug wires.

Heavy_chevy: Any parts store that carries Accel ignition products should be able to get them. The part# is 276S and they will work for a 400 SBC given that you have the regular tapered seat spark plug holes in your heads.


I guess I should have mentioned that I am using a superchager so platinum spark plugs are not an option.

I just use the NGK V power plugs they are short enough to use with my edelbrock headers when nothing else would fit, I forget the part # but I would just get stock application if you want a diff. heat range your gonna have to ask to see a chart of heat ranges for that plug.
