since changing my headers from mac to pacersetter lts, the whole time i'v been expereincing overheating in the spark plug wires and spark plug wires keep burning.. it happend again and im wondering if putting header wrap can make this prob go away? any other suggestions. thanks it was suggested i get reinforced wires.

 

Route the wires away from the headers?

 

that will be my next optioon if these heat resistent wires dont work

 

If you route them in the stock locations with the little metal heatshields over the wires you'll have zero problems. I have pacesetter LTs and that's what I did.

 

I kept my stock wires and put heat protectors around them and have had no problems so far

 

Don't use header wrap, it's a potential fire hazard as oil can soak into the wrap over time (Tom Bryne's car burned to the ground that way ). Also header wrap will degrade your headers over time. I run Accel 9000 heat resistant wires and have had good luck with the wires withstanding the temperature of my coated JBAs. Of course none of the wires can be touching the headers.

 

all right sounds good so far. i got taylor steel braided heat resistent wires. OBE, i did here that aboiut the wraps and decided not to buy them. how logn have u had the headers and wires under your car?
94, how logn have ur wires been under there? with the headers?

thanks for the info

 

Since Feb, they are the stock wires with heat shields that slide over the wires, the kind you can get at Autozone

 

I've run the JBAs and Accel 9000's for 106,000 miles; second set of wires.

 

i ordered mine anyways and ill see how they go they will be put on monday. lets see fi the last thsi time.

 

What is your plug access like with the pacesetters compared to macs?
do you have the emissions equiped?
Thanks

 

no emmisions equipped, and the macs wer bad. i feel liek they wer very disorganzed compared to the pacesetters and these run cooler. the plugs r easier to get to comapred to the last if thats what ur asking.

 

Thanks forthe feedback.
I have had hooker long tubes before, which have much better plug access than stock, but the mac mid length are even better. You can easily see and get a tool on each plug. No bad ones.
I am thinking about pacesetters.

Anyone have pics of their pacesetter long tubes?

 

i got a few pics on my cardomain with the pacesetters. plug access is easier than the macs. i had mac mid lengths before and the headers are so complicated undertthere, its relal ya bitch to do cause the pipes r so close to the motor..pacesetter goes furrther away

 

Same here.
