I used the spark plug wire boot thermal heat sheilds (fiberglass like fabric tubes) but had # 5 spark plug wire and boot melt through pretty badly. Anyone have pics of their Spark plug wire routing on a small block w/ Hooker Headers? I am especially concerned w/ #5 and #7 wire routing.

They had #3 tube running near the valve cover, right over #5 and 7. I used 90 degree boots on 5 and 7 and ran the wires DOWN, then sweeping around and back up to the distributor. The other cylinders were fine to use the straight boots.

I have Hooker headers on my 360 with no plug wire problems. 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
