Default plug wires

Wondering what you all are running for plug wires, boots, and looms on a small block with headers. Trying to decide on setup. Pics would be great of your setup. I always find this the artistic part of the build. I love seeing others' detail work.
Thanks

Well I did a search here on engine bays and there was a great thread started that I checked out. Gave me all i could ever need and want. Some great work that would make anybody envious. Wish I had half the talent on some of the work I saw. So forget the thread I sarted.

These are in the stock position and works with or without headers as there is sufficient clearance bringing them up from the back and underneath with 90 degree plug boots. Clean appearance with the wires out of sight and out of mind....



I hate wires screwing up a good picture.

I'm with you. I know some will disagree, but I like the wires routed from underneath. It makes for a much cleaner looking engine compartment. I know it's a PITA when they need to be changed, but hey we LIKE working on our cars, right?

Default no wires

To Ironcross,
I agree that wires out of sight out of mind are the way to go.
Your fulie is a great looking piece of machinery. Thanks for sharing a piece of your car.
