jracer98 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 as jerry jeff walker says, 'I've been down this road once or twice before..." There is also a short NGK but my memory is that none are shorter than the accel (but some are as short). I always been able to source the accel the quickest. If that and 90 degree boots are still too tight, I afraid it's time to "adjust" the primary on the header a little and/or maybe go with some of that woven heat sock material on that wire. (koolsleeve/protect-a-boot/koolsox etc). I've had good luck with those products in some severe duty applications jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtom Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Champion 930 crosses to RV92YC. You might also look at NGK BR6FS stock #4323. Both are marine applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
