Plug Wires

Anyone have any good ways to route the plug wires with edelbrock headers? Any wires that work well (with 90 degree boots)?

I just got my car running engine swap complete (wow is it fun) yesterday (first gear and gas don't mix) and on my way home today I fried 2 plug wires sob

Thanks for your help
Ryan

i ran all 90* deg boots and i ran them under the header along the head and brought them up to the dist aroung the back of the head...zip ties come in handy im gonna get some actuall looms soon though i dont trust the zip ties around that much heat for too long

i just ran the plug wires behind teh air tubes so that i wouldnt have the wires hanging all over the place. I used some of the silicone wire insulation form an old wire and wraped it around the portions of the spark plug wires that came into contact with the air tubes. Works fine and i never burned any wires.

91Bird305 what wires are you using? you don't have a problem with them melting that close to the headers on the passanger side?
Thanks

hes using MSD's 8.5mm's ..... His headers are coat too, and usually the area on the AIR tubes doesnt get as hot as the exhaust tubes themselves so there is little leeway.

Plus he hardly drives the thing ....
