What headers with straight plugs?
I have a set of Hooker 2151's with my straight plug AFR heads and I'm tired of burning spark plug wires! What headers clear straight plug heads? I heard TPIS headers will work, but not sure?

then cut the old interfering pipe section out and heliarc weld a new section in its place with more clearance, it is really easy to do and you will be very happy with the results.
You can precut the section of tube then just take it to a local welding shop, I bet they charge you less than $30 to weld it cause you only need to weld two tubes, unless your 2151's are difference from my 2151's with AFR-210's
I did this to mine and now have ample clearance!

At a recent show & shine I noticed that several guys were using asbestos "booties" on the plug cap and the first 6" of the wire. The booties had changed color from red or blue to pure white where it touched the header but the plug wires were fine.
