Wires and Looms-
hey fellas, im looking for some opinions on spark plug wires and looms. im running heddman headers, and the #5 plug wire keeps getting burnt on the header. a part of that is the crap looms that were on there now. im just looking for some opinions on looms or even a better way to keep this from happening. thanks alot. _matt

I purchased an MSD high-temp boot like this (http://www.msdignition.com/wire_4.htm). I then covered the wire with a heat protection sleeve that slide over the wire. I then covered the boot and wire with a fiberglass boot protector like this (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku). I just ordered a set of new shorty headers from ECE that should eliminate my boot/wire problems this year (I hope). Mark

Re: Wires and Looms-
Thats what my problem is. The number 1 pipe leaves very little to play with as far as wires. I would love to figure out a way to run the wires under the headers, but ill have to see about that.

Re: Wires and Looms-
There is one other thing you can try (if you haven't already). Header spark plugs because they are shorter, it will give you a little more room for the boot and wire.
