Re: angle plugs with manifolds?
i was just out working on the car tonite and the plug angle in relation to the gasket face on the head is NOT 90 degrees. my raised runner bowties point the plug down and angle. without the manifolds in my hand i cant say they would work or not. i wish there was somthing i could do ie clearance a little the manifolds and run short plugs. does anyone have a really good pic of factory plugs/manifold clearances? thanks for all the help
heres a pic of the motor in the car just for fun http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/shoebox1_album/HPIM0629.jpg
heres another of the head http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/shoebox1_album/HPIM0625.jpg

they for sure will not fit with angle plug heads, and with the straight plug heads (aluminum brodix), the spark plug boot will be resting on the casting as the are pointed down more then stock..
