Default stahl headers

Anyone on here running stahl side exit headers? Wonder what plug wires you run mine now are the 8.8 accel multi angle ones and 3 and 4 are real close and burning up. The rest are all good. Nice set of headers but think I will need different plug wires now.

I have Stahl headers and run 8mm Summit wires with factory side pipes.

Hey thanks thats a nice engine bay, you have all kinds of room I went out to my garage and messed with old plug wires I had on the shelf looks like 8mm 90* will be the best best I will have 1/8 clearance on #3 and about the same on #4. The rest will be ok but no way are the bulky 90* 8.8 accel wires going to clear. I doubt I need that big of wires anyway. I had a few taylor pro wires with 45* ends that are kinda close so something like that may work also. Sometimes its good to save everything I'll have to get some pics of mine once I get it all squared away I have 4" to 3.5 side exhaust tucked under factory style exhaust covers. There hid pretty well all but at the front corners they hang down a little but nothing I can't live with. I know there are some bbc guys on here, where I got my idea, with these so maybe they will chime in.

I just got an email from them today, I didn't know they made 4-2-1 headers. Try-Ys are suppose to be strong from 2500 to 4500rpm range. Problem is they only come in the side exit. Bugger! I don't have sidepipes.

Bud.
