For the wires make sure both ends have 90 degree angle boots

Re: New headers, need special plug wires?

and make sure they're racing ignition wires (super high heat resistant); also, zip tie them in a way so they are away from and do not touch the headers.... if they start burning you'll be screwed and dealing with performance issues and constantly putting new wires in

I have an 87 iroc 305 tpi with edelbrock shortys...
