I keep burning up plug wires due to proximity to headers anyone have a suggestion for a top plug wire set that will handle the heat

 

A have some shielded taylor wires, but I also use a heat sock over them

 

^^ yup i have the 8mm msd plugs with Taylor fire sleeves over them..

 

I have MTI's wires which have a silicone sleeve around them.

 

8mm Supercharger Connection Spark Plug Wires

with a nice set of heat shields

 

My taylor 10.4mm wires lasted 5yrs I think, directly touching the "hump" on the old style dynatechs. Thinking about replacing them with the same, and using some sort of heat shield to protect them...which was on the list long ago, whoops

 

I have them too. Nice wires

 

Make a bracket to hold the wire away from the header.

I did this, and my MSD wires with heat sleeves work great.

I cant take credit for this though, either Nonieselman or another member here did this.

I would like to try those wires that Blownchevy sells next time.

 

Is there any TRUE ADVANTAGE to running these bigger wires like the msd's or the taylor's?

Just curious

 

im running the same ones with one wire touching the lt's as well. its been good so far, about 25k miles or so

im sure theres really no hp gain with the wires on these motors being so short. i honestly sprung for the taylors bc they were the thickest i could find and i knew clearance with the headers was gonna be an issue. so far im really happy cause they still look great. and they're red lol, but stockers with a shield woulda done the same job
