Default Spark plug wire question:

Its time to buy plug wires. I've relocated the coil packs so I need a universal set that I can cut to length. I see that Year One used MSD 8.5mm red wires on their '69 Camaro which is what I want to use. Can I get 90 degree boots for the coil ends or do I need to use the LT1 optispark design which is straight?

What MSD part# is this set?

I emailed them yesterday but haven't heard back.

From what I 've researched, I think I need the #32-139 universal LT1 90 degree optispark boot set which comes with 90 plug boots. I'll have to remove the angled plug boots and install the straight ones #3301 which are sold separately.

Yea, but made with straight plugs both ends & black wires. Not what I'm looking for.

I would say your best bet would be to call MSD directly... they are going to know their product line better than anyone else.
