I Just got this truck and I put new plugs and wires on it because it was arching from from the 3rd spark plug wire to the headers. when i got new wires they sit Right on the headers just wondering how i could fix this w/out beating that spot on the headers with a hammer...Tis the only thing 3 people have told me to do.

Get some wire separters from local auto parts store. Then get a zip
tie, or something to that affect and pull the separater up and away
from the header. Or maybe get plug wires more suitable for your
use. Use your imagination. Beating the header is not a very wise
solution.

I know I went to autozone and they have a 45 degree plug wire boot I just bought it and put it on now It doesn't touch So this thread is a guess solved

Yes!, you wouldn't want to buy a new/used header after it cracked, would you?

Go back to your parts jobber, explain your situation about the too short wires, and that you also need spark plug wire looms. they mount between the valve cover, and the bolt that holds it down.
Mr. gasket makes a nice chrome set that'll hold two, three, or four wires depending on your application, goes for $3 to 6 bucks.

Using the looms though necessitates a longer wire set.

And as manic said If your into working with metal copy the darn things

I wasn't going to beat the headers that is just what a few (drunk) friends suggested because I was going to buy some Better looking headers in the near future but as I posted Before I bought a new plug boot what wasn't 45degree like i said it was it was a 115 degree boot but that got the plug away from the headers it wasn't the length that was the problem it was the boot. And when It was attached to the spark plug it sat right on the headers but the problem is fixed now sorry for the way i worded it in the original post
