Headers OEM, Spark plug wires dont work !
Ok, i have xs headers and no way at least for me is gm wires going to work it hits the header. I did a search...im getting mixed reviews. i know they need to be installed correctly, but a straight boot is a straight boot. i had my msd's in heat socks but didnt realize it cooked against the header and just found out they are bendable! So..do these bend and stay bent? the 135 degree boots seem to be a better fit..accel makes ceramic boots, as anyone used them? Im still not sure how people are using gm wires with socks and headers? Specifically xs headers...thanks

Yes the XS headers were a problem for me also. I toasted two wires but was using the Taylor 10.4 which were thicker. I've got sleeves and protectors on the two plug wires that were touching the header. So far so good.

I use Summit Racing 8" Spark Plug Wire/Boot protectors (p/n: SUM-350140BLK) which are guaranteed up to 1,200 degrees F: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-350140blk
