Hey all,

I'm installing some equal length shorties this weekend and was wondering if I need angled plug wires or if my straight ones would work best. Can anyone running equal lengths let me know. My straight ones now are MSD and they might be multi-angle in which case, I'm set, but I can't check until I get her back from the tranny shop tomorrow.

I've got equal length MAC shorties on the 351w block. I did have to use 90 degree boots (MSD) to keep from melting the wires on the exhaust.


Header wrap and boot protectors will help too.

Yeah, Id invest in some boot protectors, that will probably save you from melting wires

My Ford Racing wires work just fine, no issues with clearance, heat, etc.
