Pros/Cons to plug wires

[BarnabyHooge]

I replaced my distributor recently which caused be to uproot all of my plug wires. Currently they hang in looms that come up off of the valve cover. I'd like to get new wires and I'm wondering if maybe I should reroute them under the headers (if posible). Are there any pros/cons to doing it tis way or is it just a style choice? Right now they seem to just be all over the place, which i can't imagine is very good, and it might be nice if they didn't block the valve cover.


Also, I've spent a bunch of time trying to find appropriate wires on 3 different sites and I'm having trouble pinpointing the ones that will fit. It's a '71 350 w/ Skip White HEI and long tube headers. Not sure what brand they are, but they are leaky and rusty! Any suggestions?
