: shorty spark plug in place of r45ts 67jeff Jun 7th, 01, 11:00 AM Anyone have a part number and brand of a shorty spark plug that has the same heat range as the delco r45ts? I need about an 1/8th inch shorter for number 6 plug. Is it a bad idea to mix brands of plugs like that? ------------------ 67 Malibu Road Race Conversion (http://members.aol.com/jrhines96) 67jeff Jun 8th, 01, 10:02 AM No takers huh? ------------------ 67 Malibu Road Race Conversion (http://members.aol.com/jrhines96) CVW Jun 8th, 01, 10:45 AM According to the Accel catalog the AC R45TS crosses to Accel 0576S for the short spark plug. If you want a plug without a resistor it would be 0276S. I hope this helps. BC Jun 8th, 01, 1:58 PM Not sure how it relates to the ACs, but I have the same problem and run the Champion #930s, (RV92YC for you numbers type) and you can usually get them for half the price of the Accels and seem to work just fine. Hope that helps. Bill C. ------------------ Bill C.

Thanks again. ------------------ 67 Malibu Road Race Conversion (http://members.aol.com/jrhines96) Greg Eacker Jun 8th, 01, 6:29 PM Forget the Accels! Don't know of any place you can buy just one. Eight cost about $25 and are junk.. Go to NAPA and buy 8 of the 930's like BC said and be happy for less money, ain't that what lifes about ? Rick Loncosky Jun 9th, 01, 6:06 AM I don't know how true this is but a friend of mine said that the vettes use a shorter plug for some reason. You could check this out. Fred Ont canada Jun 11th, 01, 4:27 PM My question is why do you need a shorter plug? What kind of headers.What kind of what ever do you need clearance for.R44Rs work in my SB with headers just fine.FRED ------------------ Greg Eacker Jun 11th, 01, 5:43 PM I need them because I'm running Dynomax headers on my SBC. Plus even with the Champion 930 I have to use a modified open end wrench to get number 6 plug out or in. In fact the quickest way I have found to change all the other plugs is with a "lawnmower type socket and a 3/4" wrench. ssvette57 Jun 11th, 01, 9:25 PM I ran into the same problem due to my angle plug heads and I too were considering the accels.Are these champions as short as the new accels,because I could sure save some money for other things.
