Header Wrap smoking?
Okay i have an 85 t/a 350 tpi. I put header wrap on about 2 years ago when i started my rebuild, just got everything together and running good (thanks to the helpful people here) my problem is white smokes keeps on rolling off of the wrap ,drivers side more than passenger. it's been doing it for bout 10 min of off and on time. is this bad? or will it stop after awhile? I really don't want to catch my car on fire again..

Re: Header Wrap smoking?
I had to wrap after my headers due to heat melting my shift cable. It smoked for prolly about 10 minutes. Haven't had issues after that. Maybe you have crap in them.

after bout another 10 min of running the engine it finally stopped smoking, it was probely burning crap off of them that got on there from sitting around for a couple of years. a little more tuning to go and it's finally ready to hit the road finally. thanks all...

Re: Header Wrap smoking?
I thought header wrap would only rot your headers in a high humidity region. I live in Las Vegas, and there's no humidity, but all the dry heat you could ever want.
