I am buying to many sets of plug wires because the boots down on my plugs are getting burned, they are not touching my exhaust manifolds, as I have to run stock under the plug manifolds for my 350. So I am looking for sugestions on how to solve this problem.

I race in the stock class at my local track and have to run the stock manifolds also.  I had the same problem.  I started using Accel ceramic boot spark plug wires they can not burn.  They are a little expensive.

i don't get over here often...

just curious.. since you have to run stock exhaust manifolds.. do you run stock spark plug wire heat shields that bolt onto the 1/4-20 holes in the block just below the deck surface.. this deflects the infrared heat away from the spark plug wire boots on Millions of stock chevy motors..????


just a thought...


here is a picture of the one type..

Much thanks for the sugestions. I plan to incorperate the stock heat shields and use a good quality set of wires.
