Changing Plugs
Has anyone who has changed their plugs and wires reused the metal covers over the plug and stock wires?

New wires from DELCO don't come with heat shields, you should use the original ones. It's not like the heat shields are a wear item.

Definitely. It's free and there is nothing wrong with them. They will last forever.
