Burning plug wires with old style Dyntech headers
I have a set of the old style Dynatech truck headers on my truck with the hump on the drivers side. I keep burning the wires on cylinder 5 and 7. I have tried using fiberglass heat sleeves but the problem is the wires still make contact with the primaries and over time burn through.
Besides replacing the drivers side with a new style header what else have you guys done?

IDK if mine are new style or old, but I made a half circle bracket out of metal strip to hold the wires away from the headers. Drilled a hole in the strip and bolted it to the block. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow to show what I'm talking about.

I wrapped a piece of #12 copper wire a few turns and bolted the wire to the head, the wire allows some flex but still you can bend it to keep off the header. the other one I used a long wire around the steering column.
