just bought msd 8.5mm wires for my 2000 z28, and im not 100% if i am putting them on correctly, i know this sounds silly but when i had my stock gm ones you would hear a distinctive "click" on both ends so that way you know they are on there, my msd wires barely click and some of them wont click on to the plugs or coils at all. has any one had similar issues or know if the msd wires have to click in order to be installed correctly?

I have heard of people having issues with the msd wires. Firecore 50 is the big name right now on wires.

I had msd's on my car and when I went to go get it tuned my tuner said those are one of the worst wires for the lsx motors. He took his stock wires off his car and tuned it with them then put my msd back on and the car did not perform as well. So I just run the stock wires

Mine have been great. 15K miles on them so far and no problems.

No problems here, installed new plugs same time tho, wire snapped well, took some patience, but they clicked. Runs great.

those msd wires are junk i bought one set and have been taking them back every little bit 5 times in 9 months the parts store nevers says anything they must know they are giving problems most stores after 2 times change out start to resist exchange.
they are just blowing out they start arking off of what ever is close , i know i pull them off to read my plug but this is rediculous they should hold up better than that, thought I was up grading from factory , boy was i wrong , hope u have better luck

Many of us have had great success with them, myself included. I don't always hear a click, but no worries - no misfires. The bendable boots make them great with LT's. Mine have been on my car for a long time - through one spark plug change - and have always worked great.

Love mine. They clear everything, and yes they do click. Worked great for bolt on's and nitrous, and now work great with my new cam.

I also have had no issues with mine. I can hear the click when they go onto the coil but not always going onto the plug.
