Default Seeking Right Angle Plug Wire Set

…..Want to transition to right angle wires on the dist cap as opposed to the stockers sticking straight in. Small block L 76. Anyone have a part number for such an animal? Is there a set that would work?

If you don't mind making up the lengths on your own, I've had good results with the Summit branded wire sets.

Take a straight boot off, and see if the ones you have can be bent 90 degrees. If so, you just need 90 degree boots! Save yourself maybe some money.

Very good call…….Why didn’t I think of that? What mm size are the stockers? 6 or 7?

Doesn't really matter stock size unless you are going for repro replacement. Measure what you have -- could have been changed to any number of diameters.

TCracingCA: excellent suggestion! DOH!

That looks like a very nice set of wires. I have always used the Beldon wires and they are top shelf also.
