I have used the search option reading through 4 pages and still cant find a simple answer.I just received my Summit Racing plug wires and they have all 90* boots. Will this work with the stock manifolds ? It says they will work but need confirmation please .Heres a link =

Re: 90* plug wires ?

you'll need a few strait boots to do it properly. You can use the all 90* boots but then its kinda fun to route them. You can also use the old strait boots and parts to make 2 new wires properly.
I'd send them back and get a set from GM. 100$ or so. Thats what I use on stock manifold cars, it's just easier.

Re: 90* plug wires ?

The all 90° will work fine, even though the OE setup had a couple of straight ones (#2 & 4).

AFAIK there are NO "sets" available with the exact OE config except from AC.

I have used Taylor with all 90°s on quite a few stock manifold motors.
