What spark plug wires fit best with Headers & SBC

I think the Taylors with 135* angle look the most universal. ??

of course i know all headers are made slightly different and at first i am running a cheap set of Dynomax that I repainted. thanx , DAVE

I'd had no problems with just regular spark plug cables. Only one is a bit closer than I like, but if I went with any type of cable it'd have the same problem, the tube goes like right beside the plug, Its a tight squeeze getting a socket over the plug to take it out.

I have used both the Taylor wires with 90 degree caps and MSD wires with the 90 degree caps. I use the ACCEL plugs, because they are shorter in the porcelein and this allows for more clearance around the #6 cylinder. I routed my wires along the side of the valve covers using a PROFORM wire loom and then had the wires drop down at each plug. It is clean simple and can be pulled easily to allow for plug replacement.
