97 hooker header problem Hi. I just finished a header install on a 1997 Chevy camaro with the lt1 engine. I installed the hooker shorty headers that use the factory dual cat system to remain smog legal. My number 7 spark plug is less than 1/4 inch away from the header and it has already burned up my brand new MSD spark plug wire boot. If anyone has had this problem or knows how to remedy it, please let me know.

The only way I can see you fixing the problem is mark the spot on the header, remove it, repeatidlly smash that spot with a ball peaned hammer to where you have enough clearance. It also wouldn't be a bad idea to get some boot protectors (fiberglass sleeves).

^^^ Holy 3 posts batman. You could probably get away with some fire sleaves for your wires. But like FormulaWS6 said, mark it and hammer in to get some clearance.
