Plug wire problems, 24x guys come inside Ok... so ive got my 24x up and running but now im having an issue. The set of plug wires I made havent been right from the get go. I used a set of accel wires with regular coil 90 degree ends on it. The plugs worked good but kept falling out while going down the road. I found out i was using the wrong terminal end and needed the clip in ls1 style. Ordered those, now im faced with the problem these wires hold the wire too far out since there an 135 degree angle which is making the wire lay on the header. I only did 1 till i saw the problem. I corrected it with some zip ties and 2 sided tape zip tie holders but this isnt a good enough fix for something thats gonna see a ton of mileage. What are you guys running? is there a set of prefab wires i can buy? Standard ls wires arent long enough even if i were running stock valve covers. The cantons probably add another inch of wire I need. I included a pic to show what im talking about.

Here are some pics of my new setup, I got Taylor make your own wires with 90* boots and LS1 style ends then I got the boot protectors and had my engine builder make my wires. I hope this helps you.

I'm in the middle of the conversion swap myself. You can either purchase the MSD#3304 LS1 45*boot/terminal kit or the MSD#32079 Universal LS1 8.5mm Super Conductor wire kit. I went with the latter and will be custom cutting/crimping them per cylinder length.
