Spark Plug Wires

I'm wanting to freshen up the spark plug wires because well there old and probably be a good idea to get some new ones.

My only real question is, will the 90 degree boots work? I have a 1977 Chevy C10 Chevy 350 with Long tube headers.

I'm trying to find a good set anyone have any recommendations not trying to break the bank but want a decent set.

Re: Spark Plug Wires

I run 90s on mine. A wire loom helps a lot with everything I run Taylor thundervolt or spiro pro's on everything all run.

Re: Spark Plug Wires

NAPA wires are by Belden and are the best in my experience. I stay away from super duper whiz bang latest design wires. Out here the desert heat is very hard on electrical components and plug wires are particularly subject to heat failure. I have found that cheap auto parts store wires have occasional tiny breaks in the boots which cause shorting and misfire - it is almost impossible to see those defects with the naked eye. I just replaced my NAPA Beldens with the same wires (though a different style now) after 11 years of use just because I did a major tune up, but the original plug wires were still OK.

Re: Spark Plug Wires

Get a cut to fit set and run them down the back of the motor, along the oil pan rail and up to each plug.
