this is for l98 iron heads

this is for l98 aluminum heads

see how much shorter the shank is on the iron headed plug? ACDelco # is CR45TS
you're lucky having the longer plugs in there didn't cause major problems

So now I cant use the car till I change the spark plugs right? but how is that the previous owner was using long thread plugs and nothing happend? when I changed the spark plugs to platinum I toke the part number and I went to auto shop and bought Platinum plugs and when I changed the plugs installed MSD wires coil and 6A I just felt a little difference but nothing in performance are long threaded plugs cause this? because my friend got a 91 Z28 with the same set up but a stock camaro hes kinda faster and we both run healthy engines

well apparently you havn't had valves or pistons run into the plug thats protruding into the cylinder too far, so its still driveable just get the right plugs in it as soon as you can, or leave them i dont care im just saying you have the wrong plugs in your car
