Post Spark plug wires

What plug wires is the most popular. I had 10mm Magna cores and for the life of me I can't figure why #3 and #5 have a 90* boot on them. even in a loom both of those wires have burnt. I just put on a set of Moroso Blue Max 8mm, all with straight boots. Just wondering what everyone else is using?

something is wrong.

Normally, #5 has a smaller boot, but all are straight boots. I think you have the wrong set unless something has changed in recent years.

I run Moroso Ultra 40 plug wire, but have a slight bias for that Company.

I put the smaller boot on #6. I just though it made it easier with the a/c box so close. All straight boots make alot more sence to me.
