I like my firecores with the 135* boots.

I agree, 135 degree boots seem to work on 95% of the header/head applications out there. Would you like to see some pics ? Different types of heads, Indy's included .

What will fit with those headers ? 90 degree boots?

B- body ?



I love my $69 Summit wires -- 90 degree boots and about 40 ohms per foot resistance.

i've always found 90* boots were great for clearencing away from headers. changes for this season for me included new leads but this time i ran them under the headers. at least when things get hot the sagg is away from the heat.

at least with 90*'s the angle can be made to get away from the tubes

I got a set of MSD wires for my 440-6. They have tips you can bend to any degree you need. I was P/O'd when I took them out of the box because I thought they were straight boot. Then I read the box. Not sure of the part #.

Rebel, great pics. Is this the same setup that you need ? We already have those as well . Nice pics , guys.. The MSD set, thats their general-fit set ? Did you have to cut and terminate them yurself ?
