Straight and 90 degree plug boots?
« on: December 12, 2011, 06:14:33 PM »
Just picked up a plug wire set and two of the boots are straight (6 are rt angle). In the service manual it looks like cylinders 2 and 4 might have straight boots. Is this correct? My wires are a mess from the previous owner so I've got nothIng to go by. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, those are the pics I was referring to in the service manual. So, are 2 and 4 the straight boots? That's what it kinda looks like in the pic but it never says.

Also, I think all the factory looming materials are gone. Would I be better off overall getting a set I can customize the length and routing of? What brand would you recommend?

Custom is always going to look nicer/neater than that disaster. You can get some nice custom wires with looms to route them away from the manifolds. Check out summitracing.com
