two choices

header wrap or short plugs which would be better?
this currently is the only burned plug boot,i have the summit wireseperators on their way to keep the wires away from the headers (they keep falling)
but the boot ..
im ticked.. i diddnt even think abou tthis when i put these wires on..
grrr.. its "one of those days"

I have champion short plugs, there real hard to find and there the price of regular plugs, I priced header plugs and there almost 40 dollars I'll take a picture of the clearence of the plug wire to header tommorrow and the header wrap won't be a bad idea to add

i used a set of boot covers for $40

I'm using Taylor 409 wires with zero issues. Bought a universal wire set and routed them above the headers with some home made brackets. My plugs are standard Autolite #24.

I had the worst time with those headers. The best solution I had was to get a short plug, dent the tube in very slightly, and cut up a coke can to make a heat shield around the boot.

i'll try the wrap first,

hey big 10 what is over your wires and where did you get it?
im not really up for an an entire roll of header wrap right now just want a woking temporary fix without spending aton of cash..
definatley gonna get shorty plugs

[dammitmitchell]

OHH!
a little birdy said i cant mix shorty plugs with long ones is that true? do i need to buy all new shortys"
is 1/2 an inch realy gonna make a difference?

I think its aspestace, a guy that used to build race cars gave it to me, I don't know where else you would find it maybe back in time lol

Don't use header wrap unless you want to replace your headerr frequently. It promotes rust through.

Iused header wrap for my fuel line close to the engine block . No reason you couldnt use it for plug wires. Can buy a shorter -less expensive roll from summitt, just get some good cable ties to hold it on (like metal ,IKNOW PEP BOYS STOCK )

If your plugs are the same heat range, I don't think it should matter. I wouldn't do it, though.

I use Accel 276S and I had to dimple my 1 or 3 tube.

Then again, my heads use angle plugs so I was asking for it.
