Default Spark Plugs

Lo all,

Can anyone tell me the length of a Accel spark plug, by length i mean the part that protrudes from the block (from the hex), im looking to see what distance i can gain with these plugs in a 350 block with headers.

The build is a 383, xs power headers & side pipes which are a tad tight for plug cap clearance around the #2 plug.

TIA

Wev

I can measure a shorty plug...... 1.94 from the tip to the sealing surface of the plug. That does not include the crush washer. 1.35 from the tip to the inside end of the ceramic.
