Re: It’s Just A Pickup

Bruce,
You bring up valid points... Since originally posting my question I have purchased the R&M - 1101S wire loom set... I am installing the new smaller A/C compressor and it appears "from pictures" that the loom will fit. Heads are straight out plugs, no angle......... Loom set is expected to arrive on Tuesday.
Yesterday, I installed the headers, plugs and test fitted some old 90 degree wires. Driver side looks good, maintaining 1/2 clearance. Passenger side is not so good, 2 plug ends are right next to the header tubes. Does not matter if I use 90 or straight cables, I will not get more than 1/8 -1/4 clearance at the wire cap/ plug. This is my 1st build with headers and I understand the heat and all but, what is one to do when the clearance of 1/2 can not be achieved? BTW, returning the headers is not an option I want to go with
