Default Ignition (Spark Plug) Wires - LS2 + Stainless works Headers

I have searched, but didn't have much luck so I figured I would post.
I have an LS2 (Trailblazer SS) with Stainless Work headers in a 69 Camaro.
Suggestions on ignition wires.
I have made them on the past if necessary.
Thanks,
Kevin

I've been digging the MSD super conductors. The thing I really like about them is they flex on the plug end so if they are too close to the header you can bend them for clearance.

Second the MSD, I'm running doug's headers but dont feel it would make much difference, you can bend the required angel to meet your needs.

I'll take a look at them. I had heard there was an issue with them staying connected after a couple on times of installing and removing.
Thanks,
Kevin

Ok, I see the plug end can be bent for clearance.
Thanks,

I bought a set of BWDs for a 2010 Corvette from O'Riellys and they fit well, except the #5 cylinder is a little tight, but I covered it with a heat sleeve.

Did you end up getting th MSD wires, p/n 32813? I have already melted the #5 wire. They have a lifetime warranty, but for no more than I drove it, I need to find a long term solution. fyi - I ahd the wire covered with a heat sleeve, but it still didn't last..

I picked up a set of MSD wires, p/n 32813 and they do fit. Amazing how flexible the MSD boots are. I still installed a heat sleeve since I had it already, but even with the heat sleeve I have about a 1/2" clearance between the sleeve and header.
