Starter cable routing with headers?
I just got my headers done on my 390. I used long tube headers. It's a 2wd. I am looking at my starter cable routing goes between the primary tubes I think it may melt. Do any of you any different ways or ways you guys have run yours? Or am I over thinking it?

I'm not sure how your 390 is routed, but maybe you can take a longer cable down the frame rail and come across under the headers
On my 351m, the cable is secured to the frame, and I just gave it a little bend to the starter. It's close to the tubes, but it's ok

If you can see in my pic above when I was wiring, I ran my battery cable down from the solenoid on the inner fender, behind the Alt in front of the headers and then followed the block back to the starter. I added a clamp in there because there was a bolt hole just back of the center of the block.....easy peasy

The brackets work just fine. Expensive, but look and work well.
