Please help to solve some problems after LG pro headers install pics!
had fun today installing lg headers, i havent read instructions and tryed to do everything redneck way so now i have to pay the price for that. That was my first time working on corvette so i damaged couple spark plug boots until i figure out how to unplug them corectly. Im in lithuania so i cant buy new ones..also in pics below you will see that i damaged oil temp sensor plug, now i stuck cause i have no idea which wire goes where. Also on the pass side header one of the spark plug boots is so close to the header it will def melt. have idea how to prevent that?
Tmrw i will install x pipe and will try to start the car, i have hp tunners to disable air pump aand rear o2 sensors. i have no adapters so prob ill have to cut sensor wires and hack the haness. thanks for your help

I am installing LGs as well
You are going to need new plug wires, common problem when removing them. You may get by with a temp repair till new ones arrive.
Can not help on the oil temp sensor. You have a 50% chance by just giving it your best guess.
Mine too has a boot very close to the header, maybe 1/4 to 3/8 inch. Air is a good insulator, you can put your finger very close to a hot header and not burn, just don't touch. I kind of twisted the end on the coil to pull it away, but it only move a fraction.
good luck

that drive on ramp is classic
O2's, keep the left/left and right/right, top 10 eff up on the forum for the past ten years
the only time they cross is the rears on an OE setup, NOT LT's
