hooker shorty headers, and cut to lenght MSD 8.8 mm plug wires.

What boots will give the best/most clearance w/o having probs with touching the headers?

MSD's multi-angle boots or 90 degree boots?

BTW if it matters the car is a 88 camaro, 71 350, 65 327 heads

Thanks
John

90 deg boots seem to work best with any headers.

I use 90° with my Hooker shorties. Steer clear of the multi-angle cause there huge...
I still use boot sleeves, cause even with 90°'s it's close...

nomax sleeves over the wires and boots, pretty much bullet proof

Or you can install the LT1 style heat shields:

I use a mix, some places 90's fit better, other the straight mulita-angle, fit better.

Could you tell me where to get those and if they fit all wire boots?

T.A. One Two,

Spark Plug heat shield - GM P/N 12163646 $1.71 ea.

Cedarburg, Milwaukee, West Allis, wherever you find your closest Checy dealer - except Braeger - they sell too many Fjords...

Shopping on-line at SDPD200.com is easy, too.

Installed them on my plug boots with SLP headers. This should solve the burnt boot problem for me. Thanks for the heads up Vader on the posted picture & info.
