Hey Joel....The spark plug 90 deg boots was one of the most difficult parts of the build. I must've lost ( rug monster) an unknown amount before I finally got a technique that worked. What I did was take a length of plug wire...cut a piece of the next sized wire insulation that will fit over the plug wire. I glued(CA) one end of the plug wire in one end of the boot and then glued the other end in the other hole of the boot. It ends up looking like a small circle with the boot in the middle. To make the 90 deg...I laid it on the bench...cut a "V" (not all the way through) in the boot, making sure there was one end longer than the other. I make the short end the plug end. Then...I bent it to 90deg and glued it(ca). After it set up...I cut the plug wire about 2mm past the short end leaving a short piece to glue into the hole that I drilled in the block. Man....I think I wrote a book here... Hope this helps explain it to you Joel.

It works for the larger scale builds also Joel.
