Which plug wires?

**MagicMan** · 09-16-2006, 01:02 PM

Taylor Thundervolts were on the car when I got it, but half of them have fallen apart.

I got some MSD wires, but the boots are too long and some will lay right on the headers. I won't feel comfortable w/them on even if I added heat sleeves.

WHat do I have left to choose from?

Yepp mine sat on my headers for a lil bit then i added heat shields and so far so good. Even my stock wires were hitting my headers.
I would go ahead and put them on with some heat shields and see how they do. Did you get a set of msd's for an ls1 or universal?

I have pacesetter headers and had a problem with msd's touching but I could rotate the boot a little and that got the wires off the headers. Have you tried rotating the boots? My buddies c-5 with FLP headers has a major problem with that. Rotating the boots doesn't help and he eventually dries out the boot enough to where it'll crack. Goes through a wire or two each summer even with kevlar sleeves on the wires.

The boots would be my problem as they are long & 180*.

I have the straight boots also. They can be twisted to give you a little clearance. Basically you're turning the whole wire to make use of the angle coming off the coil pack. Give it a shot and see if that helps you out some.

Anyone know anything about the boots on the Magnecor wires here that are "Recommended for cars w/ headers?"
