Plug wires for bb hei hooker headers

So I am guessing someone has the same set up I do, hooker side pipes, hei and bb,
Which plug wires fit good out of the box, I am lazy do not want to cut and fit them...
thanks!
PS...please do post a picture of how they look on your engine....

Not sidepipes but 2" Headman headers, HEI and MSD 8.5 wires.

I found the straight boots interfere in a number of spots
#7 hits the reverse lockout cable
#3 hits the brake line at the proportioning valve
#4 touches the header tube

I will probably buy some 45 degree ends and change a few

Your wires appear to be the MSD multi angle boots. Try bending that boot at the center and see if it retains the bent shape.

I have hooker side pipes and MSD wires. I have issues with #1 and #3 making contact.

After having tried many different wires, my favs are MSD 8.5 with the vari-angle boots (like the poster above).

Spend the extra time and cut-to-fit. The end result will be much nicer.
