Guys with LT's how are you routing #7 plug wire?

I have LT's as already mentioned and I just found out that the #7 plug wire is burned b/c its laying the 3rd and 5th primary. How are you guys avoiding this? Are you running it over the top? I had to get a little creative with the #5 wire b/c of the same situation.

What are/were your guys solutions?

Matt I forgot to add in the email that I am using a slew of wire ties on each side. You might have to get creative.

I run my wires over the valve covers and I have #7 routed behind that primary..No way my wires will ever get burnt..

Looks like I may take a little from both of you guys...Ryan's wires and zip ties and possibly Cody's routing method...

Hell If I can drop a motor and tranny in I can route some plug wires right?

There is a piece of metal that runs the length of the block where the factory wire "looms" mount. I ran the #7 wire between this metal strip and the block. No problems as of yet.

Not all of my routing is stock, but I did it this way on #7 and have had no problems in almost 4 years.

I have OVC set-up but before that I ran it like the other guy through the stock metal strip under the headers and never burnt it once.

in addition to using wire ties to keep the wires in place, i ordered these plug wire sheaths hopefully they will help avoid any problems.
