Spark plug wire looms

Hello Fellow Vetteheads,
Now that the headers are in and the re-cored radiator will be next weekend, I would like to get some feed back if all would be so kind on a set of wire plug looms, I don't know much about them other than I would rather have the wires up away from the headers than have to go through the labor of insulating all of them from below.

The plugs run straight to the coils. Looms?

Check out DEI spark plug wire boots. Shop around I bought the 8 pack of XL, 8 inches. Standard is 6 in.

Looms? You don't need 'em, save your money.

Why do you say that I do not need.

Both front plug wires on each side are laying directly on the flange for my headers, I know these will burn up, that is why I thought running the wires up the side of the valve covers and across to the distributor would have been the right thing to do???? Would you please explain??

Thanks

You are posting in the C6 section. Do you have a 1976 vette?

Funny, we are all confused because our plug wires are only a few inches long....and what is this thing you call a "distributor"? This is a new and unknown term for us.....
