Default Spark Plug Wire Choices?

I am curious as to what spark plug wires you are running. I was looking into the Taylor Thundervolt 50s but they are 10.44. Is that too big. I was hoping to run these with Made For You centerbolt looms. Is this possible. Thanks for any info.

I had those exact same wires. Too big for my case. I couldn't get enough separation between the wires and the headers. I run Granetelli 8.5mm now.

MSD 8.5. Hard to get anything bigger in there. They work great and last.

I agree. That's what I use and they're excellent.

I runTaylor Thundervolt 50's and they have been working great for two years. the only thing is that they are a little difficult to route. You wont be able to use any of the stock seperators. I was still able to route them nicely. the most difficult part is where they route behind the pwr steering pump on the accesory bracket. recently I Ohmed them out and they still have around 50 Ohms of resistance. Also they have great heat resistance, I'd definitly buy them again. AQs far as using the center bolt looms, they are pre sized to the factory lenght wires, If You can get a universal set then You will be good to go.

Yes, and they fit with the stock fittings. Pretty much a 1 to 1 replacement. Also, they are custom fit and do not require that you finish building the wire, like the Taylors.

Actually my Thundervolt 50's were a custom fit from summit and I didn't have to finish building them.
