I have a 1991 mustang gt 5.0and I have mac shorty equal length headers and Ive been having trouble with spark plug boots melting they hit right up on the headers. So I bought some dei Spark plug wire protection boots part number 010501. I was wondering if anyone thinks these will work in keeping the boots from melting!!

Get some zip ties and coordinate them so the boots don’t touch the headers? Do you have the plug wire brackets?

Try some heat wrap around the headers where they touch or almost touch.
