Plug wires?
I just finished putting the motor back in my car and the plug wires don't work the long tube headers. Can anybody recommend a good set of build your own length wires? Or a set that works with long tube hookers and straight plugs. The last set of build your own wires I used were garbage. Don't want to go through that again. Thanks in advance.

http://www.scottperformance.com/home.htm His wires are custom fit, no need to build them. But if you want to build your wires he has them too.

I use Taylor or Accel universal wire sets with 90-degree plug boots.
The time consuming part of fitting your own wires is the stripping and crimping operation.
For stripping, I use one of these stripping blocks. You use it with a single edged razor blade. It'll cut through the outer and inner insulation but won't nick the center core:

For crimping the terminals I use a Mallory crimping tool:
