I just bought components from MSD and made my own with their 115 degree angled boots. Works like a charm.

i like the regular 8.5 msd wires, you can just bend em. i did a set for a friend on his ls1 (stock) and you just give em a bend to whatever angle you want. also the graneteeli wires have 90's i think as well as the stock vette wires.

Could someone post some part numbers?

I'm having the same problem with my LS1 conversion and Hooker A body swap headders. I've head the MSD "bendable" will work but not sure if these are the generic "LS1" wires on their site...

I'll call MSD - I'll post if I learn anything....

yeah just the plain jane ls1 msd wires are the bendy ones. they call them "mutlie angle boots" or something like that.

Yeah, we used the magnacore, they are not my favorite choice, but they work well. They don't give you that good snap feel when installing, so you are always second guessing yourself. Other than that though, they work and clear well.

I bought these MSD 32829 wires with the multi angle plugs when the stockers hit my headers. These have enough bend they should clear anything.

I couldnt decide what I wanted to do with my wires. Since I had (I think) taylor 10mm wires on the car, I wanted to keep them. I picked up a set of accel spark plug wire boot sleeves at autozone. The spark plug boots actually lay up against the primary tubes in a few spots, and the sleeves dont burn, or allow the boot to melt at all. I was pretty impressed.

I even grabbed another set to insulate my clutch hyd. line since its really close to the headers in a spot. Just another option if you dont wanna buy wires.
