MSD Superconductors. They've been on for about 6-1/2 years now with no issues.

Stocks will wrk

I got the msd wires a month before I got the headers. Half of them touched the headers. The other half I put stock wires on and a couple were close. On the other 4 msds I put 45 degree boots on

If your stock wires don't touch the header tubes, they will be fine. I had a couple that laid right on the tube so I went with the F-body MSD wires with adjustable ends. I bought them from a vendor on this site. They were custom made and didn't cost much either. Work perfect with plenty of clearance. No wire ties or special boots needed. Adjust them for maximum clearance and run it. Kept the OE wires so I could put it back to stock when I sell it.

If the stockers will fit without touching the primaries they will be fine. If not, get the MSD's with the bendable boots. I've been running MSD's for 5+ years and they've held up fine through multiple times of being removed and re-installed, which can be tough on wires especially if they're tugged on instead of twisted upon removal. I had to twist the wires on the coils slightly to avoid getting close (not even touching) some of the primaries, and it worked out great. I'll see if I can get some pics...

Here ya go...I can't remember where I bought my wires as it was around 6 years ago, but I remember that it was from some performance truck website and I just looked up the part number for my year and model truck using the website's drop down menu's...

*EDIT* The blue loom has long since been replaced with black loom
