Default what plug wires to buy?

what kind of plug wires do I need with BBK Equal length shorties? do I need the ones with the boots at 45 degrees or 90 degrees?

anyone have a good brand? the car currently has Taylor wires, which are neon green

thanks

on a side note, may have tracked down my idle issues.... gonna get some carb cleaner tomorrow and clean the TB, IAC, and see if I can find a micrometer and check the TPS voltage...

all in my school's apartment complex parking lot[8D]

Take some sea foam SPRAY, spray the inside throttle body and wipe the sealing circumferrence with a rag, then spray the whole can inside the upper intake.


Lets it sit for the time on instructions, then start her up, let her rip all out in that lot lol, what a show

I had trouble with the 45* boots when running equal length shorties...

The 90* boots didn't hit the primaries and burn up.

I have been using the custom MSD kit for the last 10yrs or so... no complaints...

MSD wires has bendable boot ends so you can bend the boots any degree you need to miss your headers.
Just adding my $.02 and nothing more.

I use Ford racing wires with my equal lengths but two of them were still too close to the the headers so I have the boot covers on those. The stock motorcraft wires touched them.
