The plugs are installed in Neal's photo ..........top hole in the center, about an inch under the valve cover lip. No, my new heads did not have them installed. You should be able to reach around and feel it with your finger.

hmm speaking of those headers, they look home made!

one5oh2nv : i run OBX headers, i recently learned how to tig and i inspected their tig welds, they look like good enough quality to last.

hey boss, sorry about being on the wrong track earlier. glad to hear u got er figured out without my "help"..

ps... why a tb spacer?
