What Spark Plug Wires to get?
Right now I have the Accel 8mm wires on my car, but when I added headers, it was really difficult for a couple of wires to reach even lead to a boot pulling off. I was wondering which wires I should buy the would be long enough all the way around. I really would prefer to avoid the make your own wires.

I am happy with my Accel 300+ Race wires. I got them from Jegs for $65.

Transmission: That, too.
I also use the Accel 300+ race wires. I had a major problem burning through wires due to lousy header clearances, and the Accel race wires have the highest temperature rating of any plug wire that I could find.

I picked up a set of 8mm Bosch wires at Auto Zone. They are custom fit and have plenty of reach for my L69.
I've used Bosch on most of my other cars and have always been very pleased with them.
