Spark Plug Wires with Hooker Headers

What plug wire sets are you guys running with Hooker headers. I cannot find a set that I think will work. It looks like i will need all 90 plug wire boots and even some of those will be touching the header tubes.

Any recommendations?

I don't run Hookers but you can get a set of all 90 degree boot plugwires (I believe it is for '78 chev pickup) for not much money at your local A/Z. They are for the big-cap so no coil wire but they will work with small cap. see below:

Re: Spark Plug Wires with Hooker Headers

Thank you for the help! Supervisor42, you recommendation was dead on! I went to Advance Auto Parts and got a pair of Accel 8.0mm wires for a 78 Chevy Truck (Part # 4048) and they work perfectly. The price was $33 and advance has a $10 of $25 coupon right now.

The price for Accel wires for my stock engine were $83. Goes to show that they screw people over.

I like the Taylor wires as well - expensive, but really nice, and a ton of color options for that little bling!
