Do the original BB spark plug wires have a streight boot or a 90 boot. With points of corse. The boot at the spark plug.

If the spark plug wires came streight like mine are in the pic, how do you get the tube in the heat stove?

Mine has the Angle boots with the stove pipe and points. Ends are more of a 30 to 45 degree not a 90.

Can you post a pic? Thanks Gary

The end on the wire that attaches to the plug is actually bendable. For the plug at the heat stove it ends up being about a 45 angle. put the wire on the plug and shape it the way that you need it to fit.

Here's a few pic's. One of the plug in question and a couple of two different ends from the pass side. A little easer to get to and show the angle. All ends were angled about the same, but not sure if they came that way or were bent like Harold stated? Were on the truck when I got it.

Thanks for the pics. I think they call that a 135deg.
