Spark plug and headers, small airgap or touching sleeve?
So I was wondering what is better between having a tiny airgap between the spark plug wires or having a sleeve (in my case the Taylor 2000F) that touch the headers. As you can see I made a bracket that keep the wire away by maybe 1/4" from the header... If I use the sleeve it will touch for sure.
Can the sleeve whistand touching the header? The car will be used for lapping.
Mine are pretty similar with no sleeve and I haven't had any issues. I did trim the boots on my wires so that there was no way they would rest on the header. Mine are Granatellis if that makes any difference.
