B head plug wires with flexible boot?

[RJCarp2]

I finally have the engine (97 Cobra) back in my car (62 Comet). Last time I did this I had the wires already on the engine. This time I didn't and I just realized I cannot install the #8 wire without removing my hydraboost unit. It just barely interferes.

If I had a wire set where the long boot was flexible instead of rigid plastic this would be no problem. Does such a set exist? Thanks.

Negative on that. The cylinder on the top of the hydraboost is directly in line with #8. I need something flexible like a COP boot.

I'm gonna say they dont exist with a flexible boot, unfortunately.

Unless you can find a replacement/repair plug end boot for something like a Boss 429 or Chrysler 426 HEMI, with a flexible end.
Then just modify that one #8 wire to suit.

Yeap. I sorted through a bunch of COP boots at the parts store today. I found something that might work. Feels a bit hillbilly modifying a plug boot but at this point my options are pretty limited. Thanks for the replies.
