Anyone Else's #4 MSD Plug Wire Boot Touch QTP Primary?
Changing my plugs for the first time since QTP long-tube header install and noticed my #4 (second one from front on passenger's side) MSD plug wire boot was against the primary. It's meled through maybe 1/16"-1/8" of rubber. I don't know what I'm going to do about it either. Damn it! Doesn't feel like it's causing any problems, though...
Suggestions?
Anyone else have this problem?
Car runs great. Thought it was about time that I change the TR 55's, but now that I've only changed the first two (#2 and #4), they both look like brand new. So, it feels like I'm doing this for no reason now.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to call Speed Inc. in a bit and ask for one boot and some new wires. Or, I'll ask them if there is some type of bracket i can get. Tried "aiming" the plug wire out of the coil, but couldn't get it away from the primary. Drove the car and it's not misfireing or anything, but I bet it will.
I think now that it's only laying against the header, not pressed against it. Though, I'm so sure that it was pressed against it before.
I'm down to the last plug... the Dread Number Eight. *shivers*
Lo, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of tore up hands and shredded forearms, I shall fear no jutting screws, ridges, and those-spikes-like-teeth-that-jut-from-the-coil-packs, because I know thou art with me, oh rice-hating car god.

Just call up MSD and tell them your problem. Tell them you need a plug wire that's 1" longer then the standard length for LS1's. They'll send it to you for free without any questions asked. I had to do the same on the #6 plug after the install of my pacesetters.

Maybe you've tried this already, but QTP makes the holes in the flanges larger to allow for a little adjustability. Have you tried loosening the flange bolts, and the exhaust at the collectors to see if you could physically move the whole header away from the boot in question? I know it sounds like a lot of work but it may help from burning boots in the future.
