Are you saying the O.E.M. Delco/Packard wires that came on the car no longer fit? Are the new headers creating a clearance issue or what?

Yeah. The wires with the long straight ends don't go on because of the headers block them.

I noticed that as well, but I bought some of the braided ones for $50, and they were all angled.
