Default AGH! Damn you cylinder 6 plug wire!

Just got my Coated Hooker LTs on last night(look great by the way!)... Thought I did good with routing my plug wires but NOOO! SES light was flashing on my lunch break today... man it pissed me off...

Couldnt see where the wire was burnt AND couldnt feel it because of the way it was burn/cut... I actually think we cut it while we were doing the swap... anyways it was arching to the headers...

DAMN YOU CYLINDER 6 PLUG WIRE!!



Nothing but a battle between LT1 headers and plug wires!

I always thank the one who invented plastic cable ties. I have always taken my time to route and tie them away.

never an issue

I always take a look numerous times from different angle to before starting to make sure all is well.

if you still have the factory metal wire retainers on route and tie them to those and you should not have an problems

It takes some extra time but routing them and checking over and over is the best. Or if you have a friend who's routed his 500 times before do yours!
