I too had to clearance my 1-5/8" diameter primaries to gain clearance around the spark plug boot. I've got the straight plug heads as well.

 

I don't think you should be too worried about making that small dent in the tube for clearance.

I had to ping one ot the header tubes pretty good on my setup, I also run the short ngk or autolite racing plugs. I also had to put like 4 header gaskets on that side to help also. I used the red high heat permitex to glue each header gasket to itself and have never blown one.

 

That dent / ping in the tube will not take away from power, at least on my application it did not.

 

I use the MSD 8.8 mm wires with the fire proof red jacket to cover the whole wire and then use the fire proof boot cover from msd.

 

Never a problem with a burnt plug wire since.
