You should be able to find an inexpensive "universal" set that has 90 degree boots. Failing that, you can just buy new terminals and boots relatively cheaply and crimp them on to a set of wires.

all the 70s cars and trucks were 90 degree through 79 with the big below the plug style manifolds, extremely common

good luck

dropped by oreillys got wires from a 92 gmc cap and rotor from an 83 camaro ngk tr55 plugs and a baterie cable for my remote mount solinoid... took 45mins... that guy was dumb as a brick. i was trying to get a 180 thermostat he kept bringing me 195 saying thats the only one that was made for it. last time the guy was cool other than the fact that he was a ford guy but even then he knew all parts on an sbc are interchangable.
