Default Spark Plug Wire Replacement
I burned one of the stock wires after the headers were added, but I can't seem the remove the old wire from the spark plug.
Any tricks out there?

Are you twisting the wire boot 90 degrees? Doing that will help break the seal and make it MUCH easier to pull off.

I use a set of plug boot pullers purchased at Sears.
They work great without damaging the connections.
