This may sound crazy but this is the third time that I have a burnt plug wire. Same one, drivers side next to the fire wall. There is no room, its way to close to the mantifold. How the F.%$# can I stop this.

Is it burning from the manifold? Still got that metal boot that goes over it? Could try header wrap...

 

I'm guessing you're talking about #7 ? You using a 90* boot? Is it ran through the channel against the block ? I found it's easier to run the wire through if you loosen the (2?)bolts holding the channel on. I used MSD wire covering. It comes in a roll that you cut to proper length and heat shrink sleeves around the ends. I paid like $30 for the roll and had left over. When I took a spare piece of it and an old 8.8 accell wire and burnt it with a torch type lighter, it barely made the wire brown and only discolored the fabric. GOOD STUFF !

 

I got the over the valve cover kit from thunder racing. It took care of all the plug wire issues. I tried the boot covers, they worked for a while but eventually cooked through.

 

I used one of those secure ties that you pull the thing through the loop and then the only way to get it off is to cut it. Anyhow, I fastened it away from the oil fill tube and the header and it didnt burn yet.

Without the ties, I burnt 2 wires.

 

How do you get the oil in that wee little tube?? Sorry, couldn't resist. He's on the driver's side where there's really nothing to zip tie(cable tie) to.
