Side pipes and guitars, you can never have too many!!
Since it's cooled off a bit I've been able to get to work on the Vette. Yesterday, with help from my grandson Ian, I got the headers installed.The right side sits way too close to the starter so last night I ordered one of the newer PMGR starters and that should solve that problem. In the meantime I'll reterminate the spark plug wires. When I first installed them I left them long in anticipation of installing headers.
Today I'll start on that and also try to figure out how I'm going to mount the side pipes.
The new starter won't be here until next week so after I get the plug wires done and the side pipes mounted off comes the hood for the electric headlight conversion.
It sure feels good to finally get some work done and I'll post some pictures later.
The headers are on, but the E-3's are too long to hook up the wires. I had to bite the bullet and eat my words as I purchased a set of shorty Accell plugs. Said I'd never have anything on a car from Accell, but until I find something better they will have to do.
Also got everything out for the electric headlight conversion which I'll work on until the starter and plugs come in. Also have to shorten the plug wires and waiting for plug looms from Taylor.Attachment 73837Attachment 73838Attachment 73839

I use Champion C59YC 792, same size as Accel shorties and a lot cheaper.

Ken,
At Summit you can plug in the wrench size, plug reach, and other plug criteria for a variety of suppliers. I was searching NGK shorty's when this link popped up, as I like NGK's. https://www.summitracing.com/search/...spark-plug/yes
MY bad, I have aluminum heads
As I'm no spark plug guru I can't figure out which ones to order. Any Help?
