I use Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro (black). Not exactly factory but very good looks/performance.
If it's reproduction you're set on, YearOne has date coded from anywhere between $80 - $100.

Taylor 'Thundervolt' 8.2mm, 40 ohms/ft, snap on securely and stand up to the heat just fine(and made in the USA). I just bought a universal set.. $55 and I'll cut them to fit perfectly. I have also used their custom sets for 440, they usually run $25-$30 more and fit pretty good on mine except two wires were about 4-inches too long. I'll only prep my own anymore...perfect every time that way...

Are you running headers or manifolds?

Sonny, You mentioned all 90 degree plug ends. I don't know about all the brands of headers but my TTI's would not accommodate all 90 degree plug ends, maybe 3 at best.

I have firecore50 on my 440 with TTI 1-7/8” headers.
The fit is nice

Thanks. I’m still “on the fence” about buying hp manifolds vs headers. The Taylor wires came in and are nice, 6 90 and 2 45. Im worried about header interference as well. Attached is a pic of the Hedmans I’m looking at. Looks like only plugs 5 and 6 might be tight?
Shorthorse just out of curiosity, what size headers and what engine? I use TTIs on my 440 and 90s work sweet all the way around.
Come to think of it though...the Hookers I used to run could take all 90s also(with a little massage here and there)....maybe it's due to the Edelbrock head angled plug position
Ding 'em if you have to! (We've all done it!) Sucks to beat on new headers but sometimes ya gotta..

I am running Indy SR heads with TTI 1 7/8 headers. I also have a later model K frame which sets the engine back a little. I have Firecore wires I ordered from Rick with the specs of my setup. All wires have 45 degree boots. I just checked my car and I could have gotten away with maybe 4 90's (1,3,2,4) but not on the rest. The 45's aim the wires away from the headers and I don't have any charred or burnt wires so they must work OK. My picture shows both sides but the passenger side pic is useless.
Looks good thanks for the pics! I can see how 90s would interfere there.
