A Guru buddy told me about some wiring chafing he had.  After a day of polishing my chrome brake chambers, I decided to look for any wire problems.  I found no chafing but I did find an area of concern.  The plastic wire loom from the alternator to the stainless steel compartment on the right side of the engine compartment had a 6" area that the plastic wire loom had crystallized from the heat of the exhaust manifold.  The wires were exposed, but luckily undamaged.  I wrapped the area with heat shield and routed the wires as far from the exhaust manifold as possible.  This is something for the diyers to check.

Thanks Russ for the heads up.................................
