How long did that take?

To wrap? A long time! Lol, but if you're asking how long till the burnt, it actually took a while before it started to misfire. Probably 200 miles, and alot of WOT pulls.

Mine does it too, and has with several engines. Its a tight plug gap that causes it.

Cheesy, I know but very effective! I bought a roll of new wires and just use the ends off of my burned up wires to make slightly longer ones. Plate is aluminum wrapped with header wrap.
