I'm looking for a source to acquire 12" red spark plug socks. 10" may work but 12 would be nicer

Don’t bother with socks. Several of mine were found to be burned/arced through when I first took this engine to the dyno. I didn’t feel any miss during low load street driving, but the car was down 80 hp. The tuner said he saw that all the time, and recommended plug wires with ceramic boots. That’s what I have now.

DEI titanium make 8” boots good for 1800f, they come in grey. Get a can of red dye from hitech and make them the color u want.

What ceramic wires did you go with? Ceramics are all over the place in price range and I have zero experience with them. Yes my LS has headers but I'm only cruising, but need for an occasional 500-1000 mile trip as well. If I need top line Accel ceramic wires fine, just not looking to get stupid if there is a more reasonal value vs use, if you catch my meaning.
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. this is for my 36' chevy coupe resto-mod LS1


I just finished a few months back

I bought these Accel wires. No issues since....

Look at the first pic showing valve covers. I bought a set of Performance valve covers to mimic the early small block chevy motors. Obviousley the LS motor covers sit way lower. My exsisting plug wires barely fit, almost to short. The Accel wires look even shorter, which I can't do. Look at link for wires. This company will make custom length wires with ceramic boots. Your thoughts or opinion would e appreciated.

I'm specifically considering these, just wish they were 10mm wires. Maybe 10mmk not necessary.

I use these and cut the metal ring out on the the one side to make them go over the plug boot easier:

Of note- MSD wires are awful.... don't ever buy them. The boots pull apart waaay too easy from the wire making them useless. Stock GM plug wires should be all that you need.

From what I can tell from the picture, and never having them in my hand, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work.
