Default Spark Plug Wire Help

I just installed a set of Hooker Headers and now my plug wires come out and make contact with the headers. Where can I get a set of plug wires with a 90 degree end ? any body have the part numbers I need ?

Any auto parts store should have sets you can make up yourself, you just put the ends on and you can make for a custom fit. Might want to use a set of wire looms that attach to your valve cover bolts so you can bring them down from the top instead of running behind your headers.

You can buy insulated sock boots that cover the wires where they make contact with the header thru summit or jegs. About $7.00 a piece.

I think Accel makes shorter spark plugs ... you may want to get them too. Designed for extra header clearance, but I'm not sure if there are any disadvantages to them.

I think I would use the shorter plugs and change the wires. You could also wrap the headers with insulation.
