Hello again, i plan on using TTI headers on my Edelbrock E-Street heads with angle plugs. .. I have a MSD distributor for it. What type of plugs and wires should i use? I read where short plugs are the only ones that will fit, that straight plug wire ends wont work. I am lost. I am hoping someone has a similar set up and can send me in the right direction. Thank you again.

You can custom order lengths for individual cylinders and any boot you want.

i make my own wires and it isn't difficult. I use msd 8.5 wire with taylor boots and connectors. msd boots are just too hard to get off but msd connectors are good quality. I use right angle boots on 1, 3, 2, 4, & 8 plugs. I use 45 degree boots on 5 & 7 plugs, and a short straight boot on 6. I also use autolite 3924 or 3926 plugs with the edelbrock rpm heads. I like 1968 wire looms because they keep stuff tucked in and organized.

We run nothing but NGK plugs and Taylor Spiro Pro wires.Last set on ny 440 with 2 inch TTIs were 15 years My kid ran them on his 413 with 2 1/8 headers and they were on 8 years when he sold it.Never a problem.Only reason I changed my wires was they looked bingy.Rocky

Honestly, I ran the Taylors for about 5 years, too, and never had a problem with them.

I use the NGK spark plugs too. The TTI headers fit pretty good. On the Coronet (440 with stealth heads and TTI headers) I just used the MSD plug wires with the vari-angle plug ends.
On the Charger (400 with Victor heads and Hooker 2" headers) I am using the Accel 9000 spark plug wires that have the ceramic boots. I guess I should have invested in some of the spark plug wire thermal sleeves too, but I haven't so far.
