Default Mysterious plastic/rubber smell?

Yeah, just recently my car started making this burning rubber smell after it got warmed up. The smell is very strong when i have the heater on/open the hood, but I cant really smell it otherwise. Its a stock 94 auto ls

Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

My friend's spark plug wires caused that rubber burning smell...
