Plug Wire suggestions I am finishing up the final touches of an LS1 in my 68 Camaro. The headers I am using fried the wires at 2, 7 and 8. I replaced them all with Accel 9059C Ceramic Plugs. I did however, run into a snag.
On 7, The straight boot would not even connect to the plug while the header was in the way. So I used one of the older plugs I had and zip tied it to the power steering hose to keep it from touching the header. This needs to be about 1-2 feet long.
On 8, The plug fit but it is so crowded the insulation is pressing against the header just to reach the coil back.
So What I believe I need to find is a 90 degree boot for both of them with a wire portion of 18-24 inches.
I attached a picture of 7 and 8, 8 is hard to see due to the booster in the way but you can see the white boot on the plug the wire is turned right up against that header to the coil pack just under the booster.
Can kits like this even be used with an LS1? I was wondering since I did not see the exact plug that goes into the coil pack.

Any other suggestions would be awesome!
Thanks!
