If NGK makes a shorter plug, that would be my choice. I've been happy with my NGK v-groove plugs that replaced my ACDelco rapid-fire.

I put a set of NGK's in mine several years ago.
I've been using them in my '94 MR2 for almost 20 years, so I thought I'd try them in the Vette.
I won't use anything else now....
Just go to NAPA to get the real ones....

AC R44TS are a fit for the tapered seat stock later C3 heads (as well as the Dart heads). .460" reach peanut plugs.
Autolite 85 works too for that.
Autolite 26 is for the old gasketed style, larger style plugs.

Blueprint recommends NGK plugs and that’s what I use.
