I have a Chevy small block with hugger type headers. Getting the plug boots and wiring routed wirhout touching the hot header pipes is proving difficult. I have the MSD high temp wires and boots, but still melting where they touch headers. Headers are ceramic coated so I don't want to wrap them. Parts guy suggested plug & wire sleeves but instructions say these should not rest directly on header pipes either ?? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

I think Accel makes a shorty spark plug if that would help any,
