Spark Plug Wire Help?
 
I have a 71 with the 350. Its converted over to the HEI but I have the older style manifolds where the plugs go under the manifold. I am trying to change my wires out but cant seem to find what I need anywhere. I need a 90 degree boot to plug into the HEI and i need straight boots that are at least 2 inches long to plug into the spark plugs. Anyone know the brand and possible year for the wires im looking for? The parts store has ordered about 4 different pairs so far with no luck!

i've always used taylor wires they have about any kind you can imagine but you need to cut and fit and install the dizzy ends yourself// easy to do if you take your time ,they include the tool for attaching the ends// summit, speedway motors,jegs all carry them

Advance sales the Accel 8mm wires that are a direct fit. Ninty degree HEI boot and straight plug boots that can be angled.

I bought a set of Taylor wires also. They are 90 degree at the spark plug. I ran the front two on each side between the motor mount and engine block, then made a little bracket to hold them near the oil pan rail. the rear two on each side have a plug wire separator on them. Then finished each end at the HEI. The distributor ends can be a bear to slip over the wire. I used a bit of liquid soap on the boot and the wire to help with this. They are nice and neat, look great

Mid/late 70's Corvette with ramhorn style manifolds. If you want to run the wires properly under the engine and through the motor mounts this is what you need.

I picked up a MSD set online but I would think all the major players make similar sets.

This is the set I got but I didn't get them from them if I remember right. http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...e=5004&PTSet=A They show to be for a 77 350 Corvette.

You want some 75 Vette 350 HEI plug wires. Got mine at NAPA. Forget the p/n. Here's a pic of how they run. You can get the plug wire retainers from about any of the venders on the board.
