Ooooooohhhhh I see.Lol, that's why one melted, the other one melted because the upper/outer part of the boot still hit the header, even with that shield on.View attachment 76391 View attachment 76392

I went with those MSD Superconductor wires too, and I agree. Very nice wires.Since I just did my plugs and wires last weekend I thought I'd share. I went with MSD wires and NGK iridium plugs. Happy with both. I'll post some pics in a bit.

I actually ordered through Summit though since the plugs were cheaper and no tax!
Go back and read post #13. The exact short-short extension part number is SK 45159. You can find one on EBay if your local auto parts doesn't have one. It's the only extension made that works perfect. Just that , a standard 5/8" plug socket and ratchet, just like in my picture in post #13. It works perfect. Nothing to remove, no swivels. It's easy with this setup. You get great leverage too. As far as the ones you've installed, you should be fine. I use a dab of anti-seize and tighten 1/2 turn past finger tight.not to thread jack but I did this 2 weeks ago and now I'm concerned because I put anti-seize on them like I had read and torqued them to 11 ft lbs. i seriously hope I'm not screwed.
on a side note I have an issue I can't remedy. I can't get the passenger side rear spark plug out, I think it's number 8. seriously I have tried 6 different 5/8ths sockets with live swivels, extensions and so on. nothing I do grabs the spark plug. I have done it from the top of the engine, through the wheel well, and from under the Tahoe. I removed the shield from the AC condenser or accumulator not sure but nothing I do can get the socket to slip over the spark plug. I changed the other 7 but can't get that one. I couldn't do the compression test I was trying to do. any thoughts or suggestions. I'm ready to take it to my mechanic but would prefer to get it myself.
thanks and sorry to thread jack.
