Do reasonably priced FITTED plug wires exist?

Okay guys...here's a goose chase. I have a small block I'm building. I am looking for some fitted plug wires to help clean things up a bit. Here's the catch, I would prefer not to spend a fortune, and I would rather open a box, put them on, and start up. I want to avoid cutting and making my own. Basically it's a '92 350 with Hooker headers. Anyone know of a couple places to start looking for such wires? Companies or catalogs? I'm open to ideas and opinions. Thanks guys...

Take a look at Jegs and summit racing. They sell oodles of sets that fit a variety of small block combinations. If the online catalog confuses you, call them and tell them what you want. I bought a set of MSD's for like $50 this way.

I have no first hand experience but the vette guys seem to love the Taylor wires for fit, function and price.

On my 88 I just put on a set of headers, I needed wires with angled ends for all plugs. I had just bought a set of Bosch wires from Azone and using this set I saw that with another set just like it I could make a set exactly right, so I bought another new set. Ran the wires down the back and under the headers. Not expensive wires, say $60 for two sets and I have enough left with straight ends to put new wires on my V6 truck some day. Best I could come up with.

The MSD fitted wires for the late 80s sbc pickups fit great with headers.
They go alongside the valve covers and then down with a 90deg boot.
Others have used them too, with success.
