Ford-what plug boots
 
I'm still waiting on Martins headers, but am ordering the last few pieces to complete my engine. What is the angle of plug boots I should order to clears the headers adequately?

I used the Ford Racing wires. I think they have 120* boots. I had to install some DEI boot covers at 2 cylinders (cylinders 3 & 4, I think) for peace of mind.

I was really wondering if I should be putting the covers... those plugs boots sure get hot right next to the headders.. do some people get away with not putting them?

Straight, MSD part No. 31329. Using a stock ford distributor with the module moved to a heat sink bought from www.mccullyracingmotors.com]

I use MSD wires. The boots are adjusdtable, and that really helps. It's a build your own set, which takes a little more time but yu get to run them the way you want to.

I'v tried other brands, but these seem to be the most durable.
