Default Hooker Headers and Spark Plug Wires

What type spark plug wire do you run with headers? I bought a set of msd but they have a straight boot on the spark plug end so they won't work. Any ideas?

A very simple arrangement is to purchase a universal set with 90 degree plug boots and bring them up from the bottom. Both for BB`s and SB`s. It keeps the engine bay nice and clean with no after thought trying to figure out how to run them over the covers and need of looms. Cut them to length at the cap tower and when finished you have a nice clean look. The wires are out of sight and also out of mind.

I'm using MSD 8.5 wires with 90 deg boots on the plug ends. Fit fine.

Thanks guys I like the idea about running them from the bottom. Also thanks for the part number on the wires I just bought the wrong ones with the straight end.
