Good Morning,
A fellow C3VR member Vetter Bob has the Hooker side pipes and a set of Accel Wires and 90 degree plug boots and no burnt boots. He has also the Accel header plug,albeit I have also used the Delco plug(a little longer)without a problem.The Accel plug wire P/N is 5041R,500 ohms/ft. rating (red and have assorted colors as well), and is a universal set,hence you run the wire from the plug to the distributor.
Something you should know is that the MSD 8mm spark plug wires have a copper core which is great for standard plug i.e. AC,Autolite,Champion,etc.,however interfere with the Accel Header plug..Also we used the Made 4 U Smootie brand wire loom system(horizantal style/also have vertical)which you can get through Jeg's Summit or your local speed shop.
If you can contact VetterBob,maybe he can send you a picture of his installation..
It works and really looks great..
Error on the part number of the Accel Plug wire st...Should read 5040R for BBC and straight plug.

SuperStock Spiral product line which features color matched
wire and spark plug boots in blue, black and red. And with only 500 Ohms/foot of
resistance, more ignition energy can reach the spark plug, producing a hotter,
longer-lasting spark flame kernel. The result is higher performance through
improved efficiency, quicker throttle response and reduced emissions. This 8mm
wire’s double silicone construction is rated to 550°F. The high gross wire
jacket resists moisture, chemicals and heat extremes for longer life and great
looks. The fiberglass braid adds greater pull strength and terminal retention,
while the stainless steel spark plug terminals provide excellent long life,
electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Both universal and custom fit
applications are available for early and late model cars and trucks.
