Spark Plug location issues..

I need some thoughts on this... I just got my NGK 5671a7's, All of the plugs work great except Cyl #3... I had to take the header off just to fit it in. Angled plug heads, Hedmen longtube headers. 357 sbc.

Re: Spark Plug location issues..

I'm having the issue with the same plug, did you get this resolved? what shorty plug did you use? thanks. Can't find a cross reference of the r5671a-7's in a shorter plug

I had to run a race plug and dent the header. NGK makes the same plug but much smaller.
