Wire Heat Shielding
I have a couple wires that plug into connectors on the block and go very near my headers. Anyone know where I can buy heat shielding for wires? Tried Pep Boys, Parks Auto, Advance Auto and no joy.
Thanks

The good stuff that looks like OEM insulation for the coolant temp sensor is an asphalt impregnated fiberglass. Paragon has it. To get a 2-3' length, order one for a '64 or '65. It's 1/8" ID and good for a single wire. Not listed in their catalogue but they have it.

JC Whitney sells it too.
For the small stuff u can buy 1/2" fiberglass sleeving from good 'ol JC Whitney by the roll and cheap. Used it on my temp sensor and a electric fuel press sensor and most all my wires near heat. U can buy it in 3 different colors too.
And i really like it after installing so thats my 2 pennys and i hope it saves u a few too.
