Ordered a set of Taylor wires for my 440 from summit and ...go figure.... They won't work with my supercomps..what have you guys found to be the best bet?

I only run cut-to-fit wires now, and add ceramic plug boots as an additional safety factor when the boot-to-header clearance is too tight to keep from toasting the traditional plug boot.

Im running MSD 8.5 cut to fit wires. They fit perfectly with 2" CPPA/TTI headers on my 440.

I have Eddy heads and super comps on my car and I also use Firecore wires.

Mine are also run under the headers against the block and have 90 deg plug ends.

i run the firecores, on my lowdeck i needed a 90 degree boot on the #8 cylinder and all others were straight with 440 source straight plug heads, with my indy heads they are angle plug and they take more 90's.
