Where can you buy Delphi wires, seems that you have to be a large racing corp. to buy from them. Also any suggestions as to where to buy Magnecor in Canada?

I disagree about Taylors, they're cheap junk.
Get MSD or MagnaCore

I went to the Magnacore site and they have lots of tech info to resolve questions such as electrical resistance, etc.

Re: plug wires...??? recomendations...??? (SIGNGUY)
what about straight plug boot or 90* angle?
i will run headers so which do i want?
also...universal fit or custom fit?
which is best for a small block with headers? i like the idea of making my own lengths but i dont like the idea of crappy "homemade" ends...
do the custom fit ones give you the proper lengths to route them appropriately thru looms etc?

Take a look at successful circle track motors ... most don't have looms/dividers. Typical is sleeved Moroso wires ... 5&7 and 6&8 drop from dist & loop under headers ... 1&3 and 2&4 lay right on top of intake and drop over front of heads ... then loop back under headers ... no looms, no dividers. Just hi-grade SLEEVED wires driven by MSD box & coil ... or a chevy HEI in lower classes. No problems either way.
Most major sp wire brands have MANY different grades & designs. In the simplest terms there are kinda cheezy Accel wire paks and beefy, VERY GOOD Accel wire paks. I like universal fit Accel 8.8 mm 300+ ferrospiral Race Wires (8.8 racewires have 4-digit pn beginning w/ 7). Moroso Ultra 40 is also beefy design ... big$. Any MSD & higher end Crane, Mallory & Taylor are also well-made. I work with a lotta big$ circle track stuff ... at the most, Magnacor & Nology may be an outlier on the radar screen.
