Default possible melted plug wire

just finished up with my pacesetters and it looks like one of my plug wires on the drivers side is reallllll close if not touching one of the header pipes... ive read about people having problems with this and was just wondering if new wires will fix the issue.

I already bought some msd plug wires and new plugs but didnt want to put em in yet for 2 reasons:
1) ill be doing a cam install within a couple weeks
2) i dont want to melt my new wires if there is a sollution to this

Do i need to worry about my brand new MSDs melting

if so whats the fix?

there are heat sheild boots that go over the plug wires but you got to buy them seperate, but normally plug wires have a heat protective coating that can stand the heat.

I think it will be ok. After I installed my pacesetters i noticed one of my plug wires was touching the driver side header. Its been almost a year and the wire hasnt been damaged or melted in any way.
