Plug wires for car with headers?

No exactly exhaust, but a side effect thereof...

After putting headers on the Camaro, the three factory wires that are 180 degrees that rest on the headers burned quickly into. I expected this to happen, the wires were old anyway.

I then bought the Accel kit to 'assemble your own". I never got them right (Resistance ranges from 10,000 [OK} to over 40,000 [unacceptable] Ohms).

Somebody make some univeral wires that are already made (HEI and 90 degree plug ends)?

Thanks!

Well, may not be the most budget-concious route, but I just picked up an extra set (what I already had weren't that old). IIRC, only two of the stock wires are straight-boot, and only one of them really needed a 90 degree (perhaps a difference between my headers and yours).

The extra wires came in handy, though, as one wire on the other side popped out of the clamp during the cam run-in and rested length-wise on the header pipe - scorched it good.

I'm running the stock delco 8mm wires.. mine are all 90 degree boots and we routed them so they don't touch the headers..
