I totally agree with you. I can post a picture in the morning. I have a 69 340 Barracuda with headers. 5 and 7 have the tube in the way for a straight plug (in fact, I had to 'alter' a tool to be able to remove and install plugs). My last set of plug wires were Accel. I called them up and asked if I could buy two wires with 90 degree ends for header clearance. They asked what length, and for a very reasonable amount they sent them out. I really like having them not coming close to the header tube. I do not want to mess with the socks. A few years ago, I switched over to a complete MSD ignition system. BIG improvement. Anyway, I bought a set of their "Make your own" plug wires with straight boots. For a very reasonable price, they sell 90 degree boots separately. The wire set came with a good tool for attaching the boots.
