Default Looking for plug wire ideas.

I'm installing some PS LTs on my 97, will all 90 deg. boots still work with these headers? i'm thinking of getting some MSD 8.5 MM.

Thanks.

yes you can use 90 degree boots i did for a while. just check VERY closely that they are far from the headers. I ended up have a few sets of burned wires. very expensive and aggravating. it can be done but I recommend taylor over-the-valve cover wires. those have by far been the best and I've done stock, msd 8.5mm, taylor 10.5mm, and the taylor otvc are the best. I believe they are also 8.5mm.

I went with a set of 10.2 MM direct fit, the pass side is going to be a BLAST to figure out, i'll most likely see if i can run them behind the headers along the block, i'll be installing some heat blankit sleeves for each tube, then incase the wires in a heat type sleave themselves, hopefully this will work, the prob is these wires are not "Cut to fit", so i'll have to get creative, the price was too good to pass up, 65.00 to the door, they also have a Kevlar inner lineing. Heres the link.
