Happy Saturday crew!!
 
   Here's a question for anyone whose got angle plug heads and headers on their ride. I am working on my 406 build up and we were about to purshase a set of brodix Track 1 aluminum heads. I have a set of Flowtech ceramic headers. There's a lot of mixed opinions among my engine savvy friends as to whether the wires will be accessible with these headers and andle plug heads.
 
   I've called Brodix, Holley (who owns the Flowtech brand) and Summit racing, who usually has a lot of information on the applicability of parts. No one could give me a clear answer.
 
   What I can tell you is that I have used these headers with straight plug Edelbrock aluminum heads and had no problems with wire clearance. I would think that angle plug heads provide better accessability to the plugs, not worse!! Doesn't make sense to me.Wacko
 
Any thoughts or experience on this one is greatly appreciated.Big%20smile
