Spark Plug wires arcing? Help on header install? So I think my spark plug wires are arcing to the block maybe? When I start the car I hear a popping sound, and the idle fluctuates along with the oil pressure, and the battery gauge.
Is their some type of tape I can wrap around them, to stop it from arcing? I am doing a header install in a few days (waiting on shipping) so I can move them or wrap them up.
Also, on the header install, anything special I will need?

But these are new 10.5mm wires, so I hope their not cracked, ill check though, and could they arc through the wire itself?

Guess the ones I got will have to do until I get my next paycheck.
Those wires were just a spur of the moment thing, when we pulled the motor we tore 3 of them in half...so those will be on the list of parts. Got to hunt down an oil leak now though...
right now I have fire pro's on it.
