I only use MSD wires. I get the universal make your own sets.
you are able to get them with only 90* boots.

Taylor Spiro-Pro. I also get the finish-your-own sets. You can get em with any angle of boots you want.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tay-73651/overview/ for example. They have em in about a dozen colors, from black to neon pink.

Re: spark plug wires

I'd recommend Magnecor or Scott Performance Wire. You measure and send them the info. Last time I ordered Scott for around $100, but that was a while ago. IIRC, you might have to find larger holders since they tend to be thicker than stock.

Re: spark plug wires

MSD 8.5mm wires here in the "make your own" kit. I like those so I can route the wires the way I want them and get the best fit.

Re: spark plug wires

I have been using "Summit Racing" brand wires for 10 years now.
Love them......
I believe they are actually made by " Taylor" and cost $32.00 .= http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-868858r


When you place your order you might as well get the MSD Cap and rotor , plugs and a set of numbered wire markers .


Just call Summit on the phone and they will hook you up.
Ask for there Catalog also.
