Hey Im in the process of installing Hooker LTs (2210) on my 88 firebird with AFR 195 heads and am running a NX 100-150 shot with NGK TR6 sparks plugs. My question is does anyone sell shorter TR6 plugs? I am having clearance issues with the #7 primary tube and cant get the plug started. Ive read that a shorter plug is the way to go however who sells shorter TR6s?

what plugs are the reccomended ones for the AFR's in your application.....the AFR's for my car use a totally different style plug the the NGK-TR6

Where would i be able to find out what plugs are reccomended? I have run the TR6s for a while on the 100 shot and have seem to run well. However i need a shorter plug now so it wont interfere with the LTs.

Have you been using the TR6's on the AFR's? like Ray stated, every set of AFR's that I have ran into take a completely different plug.

Thanks Ray, I see that Accel makes a shorty style race plug however their heat ranges are different then NGKs. How would I be able to cross reference the Accels to the NGKs? It looks like I need to run a plug the heat range of 10 on NGKs scale.
