The first thing to do is to get the wires routed away from the headers. You need plug wires with all 90* boots. You CAN get boots for wires too though if you have no otehr choice. I bought a set when I got my MSD Superconductors, but the boots were too big to slip them on. Even without any other protection, good routing has kept my wires from being burned for about a year now.

My 84 L69 has some of those brackets mounted to the engine block below the heads. Only way to get to them is from under the car, but they definately don't burn up. Even if you don't have the brackets down there, you could probably rig up a little super glue and a magnet on the back of one of those plastic plug wire retainers to hold them away from the exhaust. Just a thought.
