Default shorty header plugs?

Has anyone ever used a shorty header plug (Accel or other brand) in LT1's? I've seem to run into a problem with Hooker headers and angleplug heads on the Impala. Hooker claims that headers will work with angle plug heads, WELP, they don't. Need to hear from y'all.

Looking through my notes turned up this part number: Accel #P526S. That's what I'm running.
