spark plug wire question

[Jaber10]

Does it matter which length wires i plug to what...i see that you say longest go to four and 8, but does it really matter performance wise as long as you have enough length and are not stretching the wires

Length doesn't matter peformance wise, just as long as the wire is long enough to make the trip from the ditzy cap to the plug, without touching the headers.

Awesome man, thanks a bunch

it doesnt matter if the boot is touching the header, because i have reached a spot on my drives side, 3 plug towards the driver where that is inevitable, none of the wires are touching the headers, but one of the boots is

i guess u have aftermarket headers? what kind of angle is on the spark plug boots...straight? 90 degrees? 45 degrees? you dont want anything touching headers! i assume the MSD wires are the straight boots they have

[Jaber10]

the end that goes on the spark plug is str8 and i have hooker super competition headers....so the boot touches and it doesnt look like there is any way around it

let me know if you have ne ideas

if the wire touches the header its toast. i believe you said header touching is only a problem with one wire. i would either:

buy a 90 degree boot from msd, cut the straight boot off, and crimp on the new one

or

if you dont wont to crimp of the wire might end up being too short after u alter it, just call up msd and buy a single wire of the correct length and a 90 degree boot

good luck
