#1 plug wire issue
 
I got some extended wires and realized my headers are routed right over the #1 plug. What do I do now!?

90 degree plug cap and heat resistant socks...

Would work in theory... But the 90 degree plug on there sits on the header. Like without the wire, there is a gap of less than a quarter inch between the plug tip and the header. I just got this truck a few weeks ago and just started to do some work on it.

Roger that. Must be the headers you have hug the block a bit closer than mine do.

Yeah I've never seen a set of headers that sat on the plug. I think to change the plugs, I'll need to take the headers off...

I'm gonna look into the wrap and the shorty plugs just to be safe!

Thanks guys!!
