I've been towards the end of putting my '67 back together with a explorer 5.0 using gt40p heads on it and need a opinion/experience call on the header to sparkplug wire clearance. Here's what I have:
BC Broncos ceramic coated headers(mid 2013, reused off my 351) Had read there were possibly some changes along the line maybe early 2010s?
GT40P heads
MSD 5552 streetfire 90 degree plug wires
7/8 of the spark plug wires clear pretty well, the issue is #7 is close to the header. Am I going to run into issues with that plug wire melting?
Pic below(ignore the dipstick, will deal with that mounting bracket later)

And just because I couldn't find a good set of pics while researching this, here's a album of the clearance on the rest. Hopefully it helps someone else
