The dipstick that I bought my car from put Autolite 24's in the heads instead of the Autolite 3924's that AFR spec's. I've been having problems when the car warms up and my track times were pretty mediocre last night. If the shank of the sparkplug is too short, so the electrode is shrouded by the sparkplug hole, what would/could happen? If the car would even run how would it be affected?

I did. I've been having computer problems and I thought that maybe the plugs were the reason. I was wrong.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
