I don't have all the numbers memorized, but go to any parts store and get your hands on a spark plug catalog from the mfg of your choice....Champion, AC, Nippondenso..whatever. Look at the nomenclature stuff and determine the plug you need.
The "shorty" plugs are actually OEM plugs that are used by many mfgs, usually import stuff. They are available with any thread reach/size/heat range you want. I've been using AC's with a long reach gasketed thread and a short porcelain section. Much shorter than stock and it really helps keep wires off headers.
Of course you can still use the Accels since they are a pretty yellow color, but they cost twice as much!!

I agree 100% there are NGK crossreference matches for the Accel shorties that are the same length and look almost identical but are white and the price is about half, probably the same plug, I have a crossrefernce chart showing all manufactueres, let me know if you want it I will send it to you
