I had the same problem and the Taylor fix works.

With the dipstick I am using it made the #7 plug wire touch the header. I have had no problems since I put them on.

if u can take the header off i can re-route the tube (cut&weld) just enough to clear them. $20 if interested.

I think I'm gonna try wrapping the header tube up some more, looking for a shorter plug. I already have the Taylor Plug boot protectors.

I tried an accell 90* boot....Before I had the FRPP 45* boots. They burnt up worse than the Accells did.

I think the shorter plug may work....but I may also try fabricating up a heat shield of some sort. It might work if I do all of this together.

Tommy,.. get some rest bro. I was just bustin your chops.

I had a similar problem like his and its the damn headers and how close the plugs are to the exhaust ports.

I'm reading up on everything I can get my hands on. The money I'll be laying out on my build,.. my wife will divorce me if I blow it up.

LOL Now THIS would be cool.

"Tiffiny" is right, at my "performance level", I don't think it'll matter much. Maybe 2-6 hp. My car only makes about 270 hp or so...maybe 320 ftlbs of tq.

But I'm gonna try the header wrap, shorter plug and boot sleeves first.
