spark plug wires
i recently installed dynomax blackjack ceramic coated headers and my plug wires are touching the headers and will eventually burn through. will buying wires with the angled ends correct this problem or is it a waste of money????

Buy a quality set of plug wires with 90 degree boots, ACCEL,TAYLOR or MOROSO. Also, you may want to consider a set of "shorty" spark plugs. Even with Moroso wires, I had to use "shorty" ACCEL spark plugs to obtain enough clearance between the header and the wire.
