What spark plug wires work best with headers?
Thanks

nj02vette

I think the GM/Delco Red wires work best for fitment. Many cars here have them.

MSD's are supposed to have a higher temp jacketing but don't fit quite as nice. Not that it's a problem, just the boots are a little long. I have the MSD's with headers and am happy with them.

I use Accel on my 01 Z without issues minus the rear pass/ driver needing a heat jacket.

You can try Accel Extreme 9000 wires. The boots are ceramic. No heat jackets required.

I'm running MSD 8.5mm wires, with the stock metal heat shields back over the plugs and a set of KoolSox shields for extra protection. All done with a set of NGK plugs at the same time.

I've got the GM red wires, also with the metal heat shields, and KoolSox's.

I bought the MSD wires be sure you also get the thermal boots for them.

I've tried most of them and seem to always have problems with the wire on the drivers side can't remember the #. My mechanic has recommended Magnacors.

I have a home made metal sleve on that wire right now. I think I'll try Magnacores next.

I was eating spark plug wires constantly until ECS went with these.

Taylor 10mm wires are the only wires I'll ever use. I've used msd and those red GM wires and they don't last and perform like the Taylors.

Red GM wires here with headers.

GMPP red wires and plugs from Gene. Been on about 6 months or so. Had to pull them off and replace the header gaskets last week. They slid off smooth, and looked like they had just come out of the box.

Same here. It's the #5 wire on the driver's side. It's the only one that burns in half. This time I went with MSD and I agree with nj02vette, the boots are a little too long. I also use KoolSox covers on my wires. In order to try to protect #5 this time, I gave it double protection. I put two KoolSox covers on the wire. I guess time will tell.

MSD Wires on my SC Vette with Kooks LT. NO heat shields, No heat socks, No problems in 3 1/2 years.

Be sure to use a little Dielectric grease on both end when installing.
