I know the spark plug design angle is different but from what I could see this wouldn't prevent using a diff header. <br /><br />Am I wrong? Has anyone tried using something different? My main reason for asking is that I need to get smog done soon and the only thing I ever get crap for are my headers...thanks in advance for any help. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,3,18,10,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It depends on the type of header used.
