Are your headers Butler original? Is your engine a Chevy?

I would have the same header to boot clearance if I were to run the wires underneath. Finding a shorter spark plug will certainly help me. I'm not giving up on this option as of yet.

I must have different headers as my car is an Arntz. I have at least 1.5 - 2" clearance between the wire and the header with a Chevy 350, angle plug heads, 90 degree boot running underneath. I will grab a picture later. I will check the plug type also as the boot covers the whole ceramic portion of the plug. My heads may be newer than yours as I believe they are from a 1984 1 ton truck.
