    Yup, shorter plugs are available. Makes more room for the wires, too... Not sure that the 1 1/2" tubes are going to be big enough for a 383 with good heads?????

    Thanks Dave! hmmm, yes that's right 1 1/2" headers probably aren't big enough for a 383 w/ AFR heads! Didn't even think of that as I was too bummed that I sold him heads that wouldn't fit his application. I will tell him about the shorter plugs. I just left the Summit web site & they list Headman Headers that fit angle plug heads but say "Chev aluminum only". So I'll call them tomorrow & see if maybe they also fit AFR heads. The Headman's were in either 1 5/8" or 1 3/4" so these would be better for him anyway.... Thanks again Dave..... Bill

    PS, NO THE HEADMAN DON'T WORK WITH THE AFR HEADS.....
