BBC Plug Wire Ends
To lazy to go to Oreilly and find out and never owned one (chevy) so thought I would ask the brain trust.
My BBF has 2 3/8 headers coming straight out from the A Head ports for a good distance - Because of that I can run my plug wires from the distributor down the front of the block and under the headers to the plugs - I presently have 45 degree ends on the wires and because they can attach from beneath it looks like 90 degree ends would work better - so the question is do BBC wires come with 90 degree ends ?? And I assume length wise they would be comprable to a BBF ??
Any body got first hand knowledge ??
Appreciated & Thanks

Re: BBC Plug Wire Ends
I'm not sure about the BBC ends, but I used 90° boots with my A heads. I used the MSD Universal set # 31229. The plug end comes installed you cut to fit and install the distributor end.
thanks
That is what I want to do - thanks, appreciated
Noticed seperators - are these just on the wires, or attached to the block some how
Looks like they are just free hanging

I use these:

One wire on each side is zip tied to something and it keeps the whole bundle from flopping around. The coil bracket on one side and the braided braided water line on the other. Notice the red zip tie on water line in the first pic just above the front motor plate.

I have always like the universal wire sets best, you can route them where you want. I bought a set of FRPP wires for the 460 and they fit good going around the front of engine. They are pre-terminated.

I like the MSD Multi Angle Boots that can be bent to accommodate any application.

I used BBC under header wires from Moroso on my A head engine. All 8 wires work but they are pre numbered so #1 doesnt go to #1 ect. The coil wire is not booted on the coil end for a custom fit.
