Do I need shortie plugs?

[LT4Thunder]

Are short plugs mandatory if you have headers?:confused I have an intermittent miss :cry that a friend suggested may be from interference between spark plugs and/or wires and my headers. Is Accel the only manufacturer of shorter plugs? Any help on this would be appreciated as I want to replace plugs and wires soon.

Fill a plant spray bottle with water and spay the hell out of them while the car is running...you'll know if it misses then and have your answer.

Thanks Chick...that's a good point....I like your 74'.....I wouldn't like it normally.......but since it has a motor to go with it's looks.....it makes her a very attractive piece of glass........

Thanks for the replies.

While changing spark plugs I found the problem. One particular plug is right up against a header tube and the boot was fried. I changed the boot and the miss is gone.

Who knows how long it will last but it sure is great to know the source of the problem. Other than denting the header tube a little, I'm not sure what I can do to permanently fix it.

With the miss gone, she is flyin now!
