Default 350 SBC MSD Wire Advice




Replaced old plug wires with a new MSD Super Conducter set. Runs good, no missing, smoking, melting.

only issue is number 6. The clearance is soooo minimal as in its just not touching anything. Any ideas on a good set of looms or keepers or whatever they are called to keep the wires from melting on the headers? This is a "not stock" 350 in a 1979 with hooker competition headers. Only cylinder 6 has this odd issue.

I had the exact same issue I put a spark plug heat boot on that one wire (they are like asbestos or something socks that go over wire ends) that solved my number 6 issue.
Just how I solved burning boots and wire.

Thanks Shayne! I'm planning to grab some looms this weekend to clean up the wire routing and 86 the zip ties. I'll grab a boot too while I'm at it.
