#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!?

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!!
