Sometimes the brand of headers and size (1 3/4" or 1 7/8") make a difference.
I'm using Magnecore KV85 wires with 45 degree plug boots on my Kooks 1 3/4" headers. Plenty enough clearance for me. HTH

Take the factory heat shields and spin the spring out of them. Then the shields will slide right over the MSD 8.5's and bend the wires to the angle you want

I have used their straight boot versions in the past (without headers) and was also able to re-use the factory metal heat shields and springs with them too. HTH
