Guys/gals,
I have a 350 stock engine that I put headers on and am worrying about wich set of wires to go with. The clearance is the big question, I'm wondering about heat an possible melting with the tight fit of the headers.
Any suggestions?

I like the 135 degree taylors. But I am running BB and hooker headers so I am not sure what would be best for you. But if you buy some and find a couple hitting the headers then you can buy some insulation tubes (socks) to go over the ends and keep them from burning.

Thanks. I ordered some with 90% boots. I'll look into the socks if they are too tight to the headers

Shorty plugs are also an option :yes:

I talked to 2 different auto stores one being NAPA. Napa never heard of shorty plugs. the other is where I get most of my stuff for all the cars in the family they say Accel hsa shortys but they are only 1/8 " shorter than stock. If there is a source out there for shorties I haven't found it yet.

Yes, the Accels are what I use and they are definitely more than 1/8" shorter than regular plugs.
