So what your saying is you position them between 10 & 2 O'Clock.
If I understand that correctly, in your circumstance, it really does not matter if they are pointed to the intake of exhaust valves??
Or is it your just glad to have gotten them into a position that they won't hit because of the hassle of installing & removing washers.
Kinda like a comfort zone......
Just wondering...

indexing
I agree with rlmotorsports I mark a linr striaght down the plug and put it in with the electro up away from the piston. if I don't the plug will hit the piston. Plus I have to use the NGK racing plug 5962 r6061-10 the electro's are short striaght and tacked to the inside of the plug that gives you even more cleance.

Ron is right between 10 and 2 (strap up )....no Hp gains..this is a clearance safety issue only...Now that the plugs have cut back Straps its not as cruial to Index as it once was with the long straps on older style Plugs
