[HWYSTR455]

Here's an interesting tid-bit that some may find useful.

I have the large tube Doug's round port headers, and while completing the ignition install, went to install plugs, and found that I couldn't get my usual thin wall deep socket (5/8) on the #8 plug, because a header tube was preventing enough space to tip the socket on there.

I was like 'Eh, no biggie, will grab the plug socket with the wrench fixture on the end' . Nope. That would fit either, and was left having to 'make' a socket that was able to fit.

I used the wrench ended plug socket, cut it @ 3/4" shorter, and since it wasn't a thin wall, had to grind the first 1.5" of the body thinner. That worked, but has anyone ever had this issue before? (PIC)

I had the 1 3/4 tube Doug's on before, didn't have this problem, so guessing it's an issue with just the 1 7/8 ones?
