Run the wires underneath (hug the block) and you can also put a thermo wrap on the wires if you still have problems.

I cant say the same about Accel wires that 85TA mentioned. I had mine for about 8 months and they were as hard as rocks, some of them snapped like twigs and my car ran like ***t!, Had to replace them all.

Be careful with that! I put accel 300+ 8.8mm plug wires on last fall and never had a problem with them in short city commutes. When I recently drove back to South Florida I cooked one on the return trip. Apparently it was too close to the manifold. Fortunelty I had a spare plug wire.
