Thread: Burned plug wires - ideas from the gurus?

Tweet

Thanks everyone. I made a couple of 90-degree boots in place of the straight ones and that helped two of my three cylinders. #5 seems to want to touch regardless, and I can see where the previous owner "dimpled" the header to make room for a socket just to change the plug. I'll experiment with some heat wraps and "modify" the header as necessary I guess.

I love the BBC, but don't seem to recall some of these issues with my SBC...

What finally worked was a combination of the Accel "shorty" header plugs and the heat boots. Looks like I'm back in business, but I have a whole roll of header-wrap on hand just in case I need to make "adjustments."

Thanks again everyone...
