Pro-Topline Heads

carboy · 03-23-2006, 11:32 PM

Does anyone know which headers fit these Pro-Topline Heads ?
I have a 68 302 in my 66' stang with tri-y headers and the # 5 sparkplug is shorting out on the header.

Can't you move the wire?? Redirect it?? Or get a sleeve to put over the boot, etc??

Or is the plug against the header??

Have you contacted the head manufacture and see what they recomend??

That's where I'd start.

Thanks, Yes I have tried all of that with no results.
The Head Manufacturer advised me to call hooker and I just haven't gotten around to contacting them. I just thought I would ask around first.

I had this problem with Windsor Jr. heads...

I ultimately went with shorty plugs and while it didn't solve my problem, it did make it drivable for quite a while without having a problem with it arcing out.

What brand or part # of sparkplug are you using in the Windsor Jr Heads.
Also, what type of plug boot,,,manufacturer, angle of plug boot...

Thanks for any info

I also have the world windsor heads and I had the same problem. Changed over to accel shorty plugs. They can be found at summitracing or accel's web site. Also I changed to hooker super comp headers and that completely solved my problem. If you dont want to change headers i would just find the accel shorty plugs and a nice set of 90* plug wires.
