yeah, sorry forgot to mention. those measurments are accel plugs. i think they are th eonly manufaturer that make the shorty plugs. i was just wondering about the cylinder depth since they are offered in a few dif fflavors. and the heat of the plug i should run (im using a mallory hi-fire ignition)

The OE plug for that engine was an AC (R)44 w/ gap of 0.035. This is a 3/8" reach, 14mm thread plug. (Ref.='71 AC catalog from my archives). It says nothing about a projected tip like your info. You need to do the research for an equivalent shorty plug.
I believe the same NGK reg. plug is a B-6 but I'm not sure.

And, now we are historic.

im not sure what a projected is. does that mean it could possibly sit lower into the cylinder? i suppose i will go look into it further. so much easier on non-modified engines, just look it up and order the part. blah. thx btw.

I know that shorty plugs in the above size are avail. for chain saws, etc. but not in the "44" heat range; only in the "45" heat range, which is one step hotter, or "42" which is 2 steps colder. Just put "CS" infront of the # for the AC plug. Probably only an AC products distributor would stock these. While you are there, get an AC oil filter wrench for your cars.
