Default would it get too hot if a spark plug wire touches the dipstick tube?

i need to know if anyone would think that a dipstick tube would get too hot for a spark plug wire to touch or if it would be okay as long as its not touching the header? i have a 96 firebird lt1

If any of your spark plug wires are touching anything that is metal...you will most likely have misfiring in that cylinder. If it must lean against the dispstick tube....you'll have to wrap a bunch of tape around the dipstick tube so it has a thick bunch of tape to lay against. And no, it doesn't get hot enough to hurt the wire.
