Hence the reason for quality plug wires where you can bend the ends for those tight areas and yes the protective boots are nice but they'll burn too when touching a primary.

I just went ahead and picked up the Taylor 76045. They have a 135° plug boot so hopefully that helps.

Yep. I had had a plug wire induced misfire. I left the car at my buddy's shop while out of town, and without asking, they installed those sheaths over my brand new MSD's.

Several months later, misfire all over again - the sheath was sitting on a primary and burned through to the wire. The bendable boots on the MSD's allow for plenty of clearance without those things.

UPDATE:

I dropped the coin for the Taylor 135° (76045) wires.

They are PERFECT for headers, probably only to be surpassed by Taylor's 90° wires.
