Plug boot heat shields

[Ty0279]

The spark plug wire heat shield on the driver's side of the Ty is broken in half and rattles like crazy. Anybody know the part # for the heat shields?

Could I just take off the broken shield and wrap the plug boots in some heat shielding material? What material could withstand the heat right next to the manifold?

Is heat shielding the boots really necessary at all on the driver's side?

i wouldnt just take them off, youll go through some wires pretty quickly probably.

Thanks, I'll check those out. What are they made of? How did they hold up to the heat on your Trans Am?

Luckily I'll only need 2 or 3 of them, so one bag will do it. I hate how GM sells them in a pack of 5 instead of 6 or 8...... *ssholes. :fist:
