Default What plug wires?

I was going to install the wires today, but found that most of them were burnt, cut, destroyed. I was debating on just fixing the boots or just spend a little more money and just get different wires all together. I currently have the msd 8.5 super conductors. 347 twin tc76's shootin for 8's.

I guess I'll just buy a new set and have some extras. Do you have the p/n by chance?

I have had good luck with a new set of OEM wires. They're competitively priced on eBay.

The main difference I can see is the coil ends. I don't see why you couldn't use the Taylor coil ends that LS1NOVA linked. Wish I woulda figured this out a couple weeks ago when I bought mine.

As long as you buy those Taylor ends, you can use any plug wire you want. Also, LT1 wires work as the distributor cap end is the same as LS coil ends. Cheap Jegs brand have worked well on my turbo Nova and a turbo Iroc I did.

Speed engineering sells them for 99 bucks 32079, they are a sponsor here. I'm trying to get mine ordered now, but it's not letting me pay with paypal.

are the 32079's long enough to reach if you have the truck coils mounted up high?

If not, I'll mount them somewhere else. Well that's if they get back to me today. Otherwise I'm just going to order the replacement boots for mine and fix them

I run the MSD 32139s.

they are the LT1 wires with a 45deg coil end and a 90deg plug end.

my header design runs over the top, so my wires go up from underneath, hence need the 90deg.

well speed engineering blows and wouldn't honor their 99.99 price that was on the site. So now I've got to order them from somewhere else. I'll just get them from auto zone to 10% off and get free shipping.
