Any input? Pics?

45 degrees worked best for mine.

45?

I got the 90 degree boots and I think 45 would be better or even straight would be better than the 90 degree with my fat headers.

I'll keep an eye on this thread cuz its a question I have pondered..

I think they are called 135 angle jobbers!!

when i was buying my stuff for my big block build, i was told to buy the 135 degree ones, so thats what i have.

+ 1 thats what I use

I used the MSD "Multi-angle", about 30-40* Expencive, but I highly recomend them for perfect fit.

i used 135's ,then i bought a set of heads with raised exhaust ports. that changed everything. i burnt 3 on the headers. had to go to MSD flat 90's for clearance.

Ours has raised port heads too, but 135° actually worked best for us.

I'll get pics of my brothers 45* boot wires tomorrow and post. They're almost perfect in fit and we've never burnt a boot. For reference he's using Hooker Comp 2" prim headers on a GM 781 head.

Here ya go.

I use 135* on my pile as well...MSD 8.5mm and havent burned one yet.

Thanks everyone - thanks for the effort on the pics, Smokin'.

not to steal the wall.......but whats the difference in 45 degree plugs and 135 degree plugs. those pictures of the 45 look just like my 135.

Theres no diffrence al
Just where the angle is measured. 135 degrees reflect more acurate the angle of the plug end but are often mistakenly refered to as 45 degrees.

That was a typo. They are listed as 135* but some boots like Fords advertises them as 45*. 45* back from 180* (straight) is 135*.

thanks mark, i appreciate it. thats what i was thinking............. 135+45=180....same angle, different measurement.
