Protect my plug wires...
Well, I put on my new exhaust, including some long tube headers to replace the stock manifolds...but how can I reroute my plug wires, or cover them so they don't touch the headers
 I'm sure this is a common problem but I don't know what to do. HELP!  Thanks, --Gibbs |

all my plug wires have 90deg plugs on them, then i put a set of wire looms on, they dont tough the headers at all, though they do lay ontop of the valve cover.

90 deg plugs may help...I'll have to take a look...if I remember, it was kind of a split between 90 and straight when i took them off...

Well I just put some silver insulation tape stuff around them...we'll see how that survives, it doesn't look pretty...but at least they won't touch the headers.

 Problem Solved.  Not cheap...but lots cheaper than putting new plug wires on all the time hehe . About 8 bux a piece ...some places charge up to 11 each.
