Default anybody ever heard of running a plug wire the opposite way
I got gt40p heads and I burned up a plug wire even with a boot cover on it. Can you run a plug wire backwards... because the plug boot on the dizzy end doesnt lean on my header???

Yes I have heard of it and yes it will work. I have a neighbor with gt-40p heads and he runs some of them backwards because of the angle.

just get some 90 degree ends, you can make your own set by buying universal wires and cut and assemble accordingly to need
