Default universal plug wires set?

Who makes a universal plug wire set for the LT1? Got some burnt wires from the headers and I would like to reroute them to keep from burning them again.

I had MSD's on my LT1, they were great; it was a while ago but I think I needed new hangers to mount the wires because they were 8.5mm and the stock ones were too small.

Great wires nontheless.

I have the OVC Taylor wires on now. Can't say I was too impressed b/c they arc all over the place. This weekend a set of OVC MSD 8.5 superconductors go on.

I've had both MSD and Taylor. Right now the Taylors are on there since they came with the OVC kit. Both have worked great, no arcing here.

Are the boots on the opti end straight or 90* and do they have the same type of ends as old style wires? I've never paid any attention to the opti and I'm too lazy to get under the car and look right now so I have no clue. lol
