I hate waiting

Just an idea here, I had the same issue when I installed my headers. Fortunately I had enough forethought to cover it before it melted to the header.

If you have a hard time getting it away from the header, NAPA sells a high temp silicone tubing that will not melt or burn. I bought one foot of it and slid it over the cable down by the starter and even if it does rest on it, it won't melt.

And I know for a fact it won't melt, because I brought it home and fired up my hot wrench and tried to melt it, no go.

Well I originally had it routed a different way, for some reason I changed that and went thru the headers. Of course I thought it would be ok, but it obviously wasnt.

I will have to look for that tubing, I didnt know they sold anything like that there. I was thinking of picking up that high temp spendy stuff from summit but I'll look at this option now. Thanks for the lead on that.

Oh on the positive note, I think that is why when I went WOT with my car my radio shut off and came back on. I think that wire was arcing on the header causing my problem.. Glad it didnt cause any bigger ones. So I guess there is a positive note to not having my torsion bars yet. I found this issue.
