Spark Plug cables pop off?
I cannot figure out the reason for this? I am thinking its blowby from the spark plugs. Any other theories? I am using iridium plugs with 8.5 MSD plug wires.

How old are the wires? Perhaps the little "lip" on the inside has worn and its not holding on well and simple vibration is loosening them? Or are they literally popping off?

that's true, but how about when they pop out from the distributor cap?
