Thanks Bill, Hopefully it will exit closer to center chamber but the thread path shown in jims pics makes it appear it could still end up far closer to the exhaust than center chamber. The closer that ground strap gets to the exhaust valve the hotter it is going to get.

Maybe it will simply require a short reach plug to make it safer once all is done.

The link I posted earlier has pics in the pdf file from the Ford catalog not as clear as jims but you can see the chamber/plug location on the dual quench castings are more biased to center chamber exit. Sure there is more than one good reason they chose that way.
