Burned plug wires

[GTGrinly]

Anyone else have this issue. 360 with 273 exhaust manifolds. 5&7 plug wires keep burning.

It happens. Could get some boots like these…

That's why the factory put heat shields on the DS manifold. Straight plug boots/ends would help a lot, as would looms to properly keep the wires off the manifolds.

Yeah, you gotta keep um off the manifolds. They don't much like that.
