If you plan to run your wires above the headers like that, you may want to consider those 'Made for You' wire looms that attach to the valve cover bolt holes. They keep the wires firmly in place and avoid them dropping onto the hot headers.

Also, you may want to consider relocating your heat sender wire/sender to your intake manifold away from those headers (or run it/attach from the underside of the engine block).
