What size spark plugs did you switch over to? Did they come with the wire set?

I didn't have to switch spark plugs...I used Autolite 25's with my stock heads and Autolite 3924's on my AFR heads using the same headers.

You don't have to change spark plugs...

The plugs don't come with wires. You can get them at Wal-mart actually...

So when you put the Equal Lengths on your engine, were the 9mm wires all you needed or was there more?

That and new header gaskets though. I just had some of the tubing dented in so I could change them easier. That is all...

Not true, MAC make automative longtubes: they put the o2 sensor bung on the opposite side so they face outward. For carbed homies, this is not an issue since you just plug the LT O2 sensor bungs anyways.

Yeah I forgot about the MAC ones being able to fit on the auto cars. I'm not a fan of the multiple flanges that seem to warp on everyone though. I don't know if the LT's are single flange or not. I haven't looked at them in a while. I also think the primaries on the MAC ones are too big for what I'm running. 1 5/8 is enough for me at the moment.
