Zip.
Also a decent ext tip plug, last sunday a guy at the tracks with 565 18 degree big duke engine had a slight miss they'd been looking for. I looked it over for them, and tested a few things but I kept going back to the 3923 although a ext tip, still do have a miss issue in certain combos do to the difference in the stap on the plugs. I found a set of plugs, replaced them and he went on to 2 finals that day, miss free. Although big dukes are a different animal, I feel the strap on the 3923 can cause a issue vs the 3910, on certain combos. If I get some time, I'll shot a few pics to show the difference.

I'd index them and roll the engine over by hand and see if they hit, if not id give them a try.
thanks David, pics would be great!

the standard plug reach is .460" and is flush with the chamber. do i need to get the tip into the combustion chamber as far as possible? change up to .750" reach and extended tip if it will fit?

which way do i index the ground strap? did that many many years ago with a small block dodge, made no difference in that instance.
