electrical problem

Thanks, while cruising the net I found the wrap at Advance auto parts along with the stainless tie wraps to hold it on, and they sell a silicone prep spray also recommended for the manifolds first. Might consider wrapping the manifolds on there now, and then seeing how it goes before doing headers later.
They also carry the aluminum wire sleeves ( heat resistant). I noticed that the disclaimer is the wraps void warranty on the headers.
And lastly- they carry a 36 x 40" heat screening mat you glue on as needed. Might be good around the front seat area nr the exhaust especially.

In doing a little research for my "horn" project I have been looking into Teflon coated wiring. It has a working temperature of 200 degrees C.. This does not sound very high when you're running it over exhaust manifolds but high temperature automotive wiring is only rated at 125 C.. The problem of course, is the cost, I've been looking on eBay and there is quite a bit of it available. Just not exactly what I need. If you haven't worked with Teflon wiring before it's wonderful stuff. You can make a solder joint and no amount of heat will damage the insulation to.

If you want truly heat resistant wire try wire with Kypton insulation on it. Should be good upwards of 1500 degrees F. It is used on F-16 A/C extensively in the engine bay as weel as other areas.

I just spent several hours with the "no lights" problum, also no horn!
I of course I ran to this forum a few times and BINGO!
I LOVE this forum. You people have saved me a lot of money, and more time!!!
Found a burnt wire in the starter and when I ran 12 volts to it the lights went on and the horn worked,
Looks like I'll be spending yet more time under the machine
