If they're 8mm wires, the "Made For You" looms will work. But, those wires aren't going to be long enough to run over the covers.

Thunder Racing should have teh Opti Ends you need. Personally, just spend the $100 and get the OVC kit taht Thunder sells with the Taylor wires. THey're cut to length, and the Taylor wires are just as good as those MSD's you're running.

the wires arent cut to length. you still have to get them where you want. Then cut and strip them.

That's what I said. They're "cut to length" meaning you cut them to what you deem the proper length.

www.thunderracing.com will be your best PnP option.

As Sean (Fastbird) stated, you will have to cut them to the desired length and then install the boots.
