Firecores seem to be the top brand here on Moparts but have never ran them. Doc---what the hell does Holley have to do with this thread?

Do you have a pic of your number 6 spark plug area for a reference? We have specific wires and boots for nearly every application. Thank you. 1963 413 in a 74 Plymouth Satellite with full length headers. (not sure what brand) Looks like these. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-78...model/satellite I need to see if I can get a picture. The engine is currently out of the car but I think if I bolt the header on it will give you an idea. I have absolutely no room between the inner fender and the 1st tube that runs over the top. I have to run 2,4,& 6 through the front undeneath. #8 runs topside along valve cover intake side. #6 burnt right where it curls up to head towards the plug. I'm thinking I may need a heat sleeve of some sort. When is best time to call?
