Looking for 3/4 Shorty SparkPlugs?

I have AFR heads...and need the 3/4 threaded plugs....DO they make 3/4 threaded SHORTY plugs?
I already have plugs for it but would like to find some SHORTY's..the ACCEL's wont work cause they are not 3/4 threaded

thanks!

The 5/8" and 3/4" refer to the socket size, not the thread size.
The thread size is all the same, i.e. the plugs are interchangable. Only difference is if they're tapered or the older gasket plugs. AFR's should be normal tapered.

the thread size is not the same.....the shorts are the ones that I used in my 305 heads and the longs ones is what I need for my AFR's...but Im looking for some that are shorter but the same thread length....

these are the autolites that Im using now, which is whaT AFR told me to use.....but when I plug the wire on..they hit my headers..so Im looking for something that is shorter length where you plug the wire on..(i dont know what its called)

Plugs

Am using the Autolite 3926 which are shorty plugs in my
AFR 195s.

See your running the 3924s, are they the short Autolites
also. Been looking for a different heat range in the shorty
PLugs??

Thanks

Im guessing they are the same length as the 3926's....the 3924's are just a colder plug.

WOW!..Im really impressed with the power your putting down, is that to the wheels?...with my HSR and a 226/232 cam..Im hoping to put down at least 400.....Im basically just like your expect for the cam and intake and im running full length headers.

Plugs

Thanks, I'll check them out.
Going Nitros and need them.

And on the power, thats to the FW, but we left alot on the
table because was done as a favor and only two quick pulls
and no chance to tune it out. Private owned Busch race shop
and also had to use 850 TB. Using Mini-Ram on setup now.
Also had to use 1/78'' Dyno headers, and 1/34 on the car. So
fiqure torque a little higher now.
Once I get it chiped in and Nitros setup will find some Rollers
to see what I've got to the rear.
What really impressed us was the flat torque curve, I guess
because of the Rev kit and lite valve train. We only went to
6850 and had more to go as to float. Chickened out!! New
motor, no more $$$$.
More for show than race anyway. Getting to old to get to carried away.

Later
