I have not tried to wrap wire around the plug wires. However, I was successful using 1 inch flat braid Strap stock...(the stuff many people use for grounding strap).... if you compress it and open it up (like a Chinese Handcuff) it opens to about 2 inches inside diameter, big enough to slip over the plug wires and sockets..... to determine the needed length, stretch it so its diameter decreases, and cut to the length of the plug wire plus a couple inches...once you have it pulled over the plug sockets, stretch it back to cover the entire wire length.... .if you solder a ground lead on it first, you can collect all the leads and ground to the engine block

KU4B is suppressed ignition
noise on his truck by wrapping wires around the spark plug wires then....It sure looks easier than any other method of shielding.
