what plug wires are you using?
Hey everyone,
I am getting ready to put my 350 in and I was wondering what kind of plug wires everyone was running and if they were happy with them.
I have edelbrock shorty headers that I am putting on so I will most likely be buying boots for the wires so they don't burn up.
Any suggestions as to which ones I should pick up or stay away from?

I have the Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm wires that are cut-to-fit and have the 90-degree boots. You'll probably want to re-route your wires around the headers, which is why it's good to get cut-to-fit wires. With most headers, it's necessary to get 90-degree boots to avoid burning the plug wires. I have the Made For You plug wire looms and they work great.

I use MSD Super Conductor wires, and I also have the edlebrock headers. They are great wires and I have not burned one. I have had them on the car for a few years now, and I recently took them off to check their resistance. These are the lowest resistance wires on the market, with only 50-60 ohms per foot. When I originally put them on, I could feel a nice increase in throttle response and maybe even a small power increase. All in all a great wire that lasts for $65.

I've got the 8.5 mm MSD Super Conductors with the Edlebrock TES headers. I got the cut to fit set. I had one resting on a primary for a few weeks when the loom melted and it wasn't crisp at all. My old Accel wire fried not even touching the headers. I'm running bosch platnum plug because the are short enough to work with the fat boots on the MSDs.

I have the Holley Annihilator wires on my car. They are 9mm and are actually manufactured by Delphi (it says it on the wire). I am very happy with them
