Need something.... just not sure what

I have a 1990 TPI 350. The guy I bought the car from put some headers on. The problem I"m seeing is that the sparkplug wires are now very near to these uncoated headers. Is there something out there that I can use to insulate these wires before they burn and give me problems?

You could alwayse get the wire hangers from your autoparts store. I have used many types and they all seem to work.

I've got hangers... I'm mostly concerned about the end of the wire near the boot. Where can I get some of those high heat sleeves?
