Plug wires melt
Anybody else have this problem? I have headers installed. Even though I have used high temp wires, and be careful to keep the wire in side the factory raceway. They still melt where the come to the plug. The most space I can keep between the wire and header is 1/2".
Anybody have a solution? Should I just run them on top the valve covers?

It only melts them after sitting and idling for long periods of time. (like when I was tuning the carb, or just letting it run after sitting for couple weeks.) Air flow of driving seems to prevent it, however I will check my total timing. By this you mean full vac advance and mech. advance, all in timing? Or just mech?
