Default Wiring issue with installing pacesetter long tubes

I'm in the proces of installing the passenger side header and have no clearance with the wiring harness? Any ideas for re-routing this away from the header?

do the best you can. keep away from the primaries, use some good zip ties.

I assume you mean the Wires on the right side that go to the Starter..?

Zip Tie them up to the side of the Body of the Car and keep them away. Also Wrap them with that Heat Wrap(Silver Duct-Tape lookin ****) or some Tin Foil if you have too..

I did what I could to keep them away from the headers when I did my install. The factory heat shielding **** did a good job, maybe too good. It stayed completely intact while the conduit and a ground wire inside of it melted.

I extended the wiring 12-14 inches and ran it forward, down, then through the engine mount to keep it away from everything. It's a simple and effective job.

heat wrap around factory heat sleeve and zipties have been holding up for a year now.
