Can you use long wires, or are you looking for short straight ones?

i think taylor makes some, did a quick search and saw 45deg ones at least...search for lt1 (the older one) style coil ends and there are more options than the ls style ends

I don't know if they will work for that.
Look up "Blue Streak LS Plug" on ebay. Super heavy duty plug wires used on the LS2 engines in NASCAR.
If you look hard enough, you can see them going completely around some up and forward truck manifolds on my buddy's truck:

I guarantee you won't find anything even close to that nice for double the price. They're no joke.

The bluesteak wires are great! I did burn a few of those tho. I did similar to what op is wanting to do, I used a cut to fit kit with 90 plug ends and bought the universal ls1 coil boot set. They are not 90* ends but are kinda flexible so I just pulled them to 90* and secured them tightly so they won't move. I'll get a pic tomorrow to show.

I was working on an 8.1 liter 2500 the other day and noticed they have the LS style coil boots but are considerable longer than LS wires. I would guess 10 inches at least. The Ford 6.2 also uses the same coil end and are around 10 inches long iirc, it is a 16 spark plug job.

I had the same problem with my cx racing kit and ended up going with accel ceramic booted lt1 wires. No problems since.

I kept burning up plug wires, ended up just using some exhaust heat wrap on any plug wire that was close to the manifold I wrapped around it really thick to insulate it and has been fine ever since

Taylor and MSD offer a "soft bend" 90* end, which is intended for an LT1 distributor end, but the terminal works for an LS coil. I personally don't like the look of, but they're these...



What I ended up doing is using those straight LT/LS terminals and 90 degree distributor boots which are super tight and compact..



I just install the wire and straight terminal into the tight 90* boot with a bit of dialectic grease, and have the terminal protrude about 1/4" which is enough to get the boot to seat on my truck coils and have the terminal click into place...

Yeah after ~6 years I haven't seen any kinking or damage to the plug wire from making it bend kinda sharply inside the tight 90* boot.. so it's all good I think.

I machined those firewall grommets years ago... they're one of the first things people ask about haha.

Thanks!

1. Im in the same boat. Trying to figure out the best way to route my spark plug wires. Ive thought about running short ceramic tip wires through the middle with lava sleeves. Or back to firewall than back up.

Bringing this back from the dead. Are there any options with a 90* boot on the coil side? Assemble-your-own OK and maybe actually preferred since I need a very short length.

Call Firecore and tell them what you want, the possibilities are endless.

I used a Taylor 83051 which has 90* ends on both ends:

If you want just the 90deg boots/ends, there is also Taylor 46067 which is "for LT1 distributor" so they're a compact/tight 90deg:
