John, yes, correct that factory cable for 413 had braided sleeve over cable, maybe had asbestos?? I don’t know. Always count blessings, could have been a catastrophic fire (fire extinguisher in trunk, but maybe too late, going 70 mph?). I have high-temp heat wrap, not stock looking, who cares – it is functional and not really visible from above. Also must use heat wrap or sleeves on most spark plug wires, especially near plugs , I did that, might add more now! Else, your plug wires will not last long! Good points on PS hoses. Ram pressure hose should go over rams, avoids headers, John Begian had them made up but out of stock currently (we need more!). Carl From: John Grady good save , Carl ! didn’t some ( or all) 300 have a loom like braided sleeve over the cable ? problem may not be the cable , any plastic cable will melt if hot enough . They sell fiberglas heat sleeve , like spark plug sleeves , but may be objectionable due to white color . maybe a short piece ok or paint with hi temp BBQ paint ? on another car with similar proximity issue , i I added a lined P clamp to sheet metal to hold it away , even with a sleeve . But may need “ more rope “ ( longer cable and wire ) , another I remember tying it to PS hose . PS hose has the problem too , depending on many things . If it actually burned through to copper on header all hell would have broken loose . Dead short on full battery . You re lucky in a way . Thanks for making us all wiser! jkg Sent from my iPhone
