HEI Plug wire recommendations - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know this question will garner some snide remarks, chuckles, and gafaws from a select few, so please have some fun with it.

For those that want to actually help, here is my question.

I'm looking for plug wires of the correct length for the following application.

It's a small block 350 with an HEI. It has stock rams horn manifolds, complete with the stock plug heat shields. I also have installed the stock looms that bolt on the back of the block. Other than the HEI, it's the OE stock setup. I want to route the wires as they were routed for the stock points setup. That is, behind the block and up under the rams horn manifolds.

The wires NAPA gave me for a small block HEI are too short to route properly. It sits at stock height so too long is better than too short. I don't plan on "laying" plug wires.

Has anybody solved this, and what wires did you use? I prefer not to make my own wires.
