Was thinking of buying a set msd. Street fires plug wires. For the 440 They are pre assembled and have straight plug ends on them Will they fit with out touching the headers? I have never had any luck with a straight plug. With headers

do you have the headers you are going to run ? if so, they should tell you if they will work with straight plug boots. if you do not have the headers, i would wait until you do. then buy plug wires with the correct ends that will work. don't be surprised if you need a combination of various ends so the boots do not touch the pipes.

I wanted factory terminated plug ends, had to by 2 sets. 1 90* 1 str. used 4 of each. b-body with hooker headers, now have spare set. you do not want 5-7 running side by side 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, "they say" they will crossfire.

Go Firecore.
You can specify which boot you want for each wire.
Some of the best wires I've had (better than MSD, Taylor, etc.)

On my 383 and my 440, I really needed an assortment to work perfectly. Some cylinders called for straight, some 45, and some 90.
I'd get the headers first, then custom order a set wire-by-wire. As others have said, there are sets that you can order that way.

I already have the headers. Bought years ago. Off eBay. And that is bout all I remember about them. And that the bolt holes fit like crap lol
Car has been a back burner for years. And it's just a little here. Little there as time goes by. And while time. Money and work. Permits

saying the bolt holes fit like crap prompted me to relay this to you. cut the flanges between the end pipes and the center pair. drill the one hole to 25/64, drill the other hole to 7/16 or 29/64 on each pipe flange. doing this will almost guarantee the pipes will seal. this allows the pipes to move around a little bit during the heating and cooling process, preventing leaks to occur. i stole this idea from member Mr. P-Body 20 years or so ago, and even the junkiest set of headers sealed up perfectly !

I bought the 8.5mm Super Conductors. They have straight boots that have a spot that can be bent. Work with TTi headers. Weird thing is there is no mention in the instructions. I called MSD.
I’m listening.
