spark plug wires talking about my 96Z.. i have long tube headers on the car.. ever since i got long tube headers, they keep burning up my spark plug wires.. i just finished my engine build and i took the car straight to getting tunned and on the way there i burned one or more plug wires..
does anyone know of a FULL PROOF way of protecting the plug wires from those .. i have used many different types of sleeves and wraps.. and NOTHING has worked.. those headers keep burning them up

which long tubes are you running? at least on the hooker/jet-hots my vote goes to an over-the-valve cover set up....no burnt wires and it looks clean too. One of the best functional/aesthetic mods I've ever done.
