burned spark plug wire

i waited just a little too long to put the brackets on y wires and now i burnded a whole in one of them. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck with buying new ones.

Have to get new ones, Sorry but I have done the same and LT1's are way more expensive cause of the Opti end. So considering yourself lucky.

:banghead: :swear:

Cant you just cut out the bad section and solder it back together only a little shorter and wrap it in electric tape?

Dont cheap out.

What he said. You can use duct tape to seal a hole in a cracked intake duct too but is that a good idea?. I think not. Just get yourself some new wires with some new silicone jackets and put them in the right way this time.

Get some header wrap aswell, i think it will help against burning them wires. I'm temporarly (spelling please) using some aluminum foil (i'm a broke bastard, i know) around the wires that touch the headers and it's works just fine.

Broke bastard.. :lol:

Hey take easy, don't pick on the broke kid, aight?

im broke :mad:

LOL!!! We just may be related Brian.

This is why I tell everybody that when you change your plugs and wires, save the better of the old wires as emergency backup. Same applies for belts (serps especially)

I still have my old 8.5 msd, there just way too long (custom, but i never cut to length, dumbo me).

well i got the problem fixed... what i did is i cut the wire where it was burned and just put the boot back on it....and since it was too short i just swithced it out with one of the longer ones and now everythings good....and link i would never buy header wraps...they dont let the engine breath an no header company will not warrenty their headers if you put those wraps on...im just going to buy some wire wrap though...do they make that stuff.

Learn something new every day.

i also make a point in saving old parts sometimes.. my garage is starting to look like a junkyard.. although, i know it doesnt take a cake to John's.. he pry has parts coming out of his ears..
