If you have headers like I do on the NOM 454 in my 68 convert, spend the money for the Accel wires with ceramic sockets on the spark plug end. JEGS has them for about $100. I fried two sets of so-called high temperature silicone wires, even with those heat protector sleeves on them. The ceramic ends are designed for constant high temperature and won't be toast after a few weeks like the other types. I run mine along the after-market aluminum valve cover in a 4-3-2-1 wire loom and down to the spark plug- but they would work just as well coming from under the headers, since they are heat-proof. RA
I like my wires to come from the bottom. Moroso makes a kit that runs the wires neatly behind the heads and under the headers. I just think it makes for a cleaner engine compartment.
I don't have any experience with them but they are SAE J2031 Class E rate to over 400F if any of that is of interest.
Since then I've looked further and there really are a LOT of good options out there with wire-wound construction - I suspect it's hard to go wrong these days.
