Plug wire to header clearance-how close is too close
#1
I've been playin around with a reproduction set of original wires routing them around the headers. I want to use the original style to keep as much of a stock appearance as possible-yes I know I have headers. I've got them layed out pretty nice but there are a couple of boots and wires are close. I'd hate to use socks but if I have to in a couple areas I will. I'm hung up on trying to use these wires and feel like I scored a victory with routing them today so be nice!
Look at what I have and let me know if I might have issues. Is it ok if a wire rests on the ceramic of another plug like that?

The way I can answer the question is what would I do? I would run it if it were mine. As long as it does not touch.

That's what I figured but until then its gonna be haunting me. Just figured if there was a general rule. I know headers are gonna be warm!

Boots should be ok, #2 cyl tube going to depend how hot it gets. If you have an issue, try using the MSD boots..

From the pics, the hard part is going to be routing the #4 and #6 wire so they don't hit the #2 tube..

I used to get a misfire on my 440 when the boot wo u ld burn. The "solution" was to not run a boot on that wire. Air was a more reliable insulator than a charred boot.
