I have mac shorties, and the spark plug wire on #3 cylinder keeps getting burnt on the header. I have tried a few different brands, any ideas what I can do here?

Cheers

MSD multi angle plug wires FTW. You can bend the boots different ways to avoid them being burnt. I love em.

all above are good choices


of course whatever brand you use if they are touching the header they will melt

mine do better with some well placed looms
