Default relocated coil packs....wire length?

ive relocated my coil packs to under the wiper cowl. the motor is out of the car so i dont know how long the wires need to be. are the LT1 wires the perfect length, or should i cut my own out of a universal kit, and if so how long do they need to be?

You can either cut your own to length from a universal kit or get some from 99blancoss.

Try taking some measurements. This is why my kit is available. The work has been done for you

The universal kit is more expensive and if you mess up on length your hosed, or have a crimp issue. Mine are guaranteed for life.

Thats correct, I can give you the wire lengths I use as well... just messin with ya..LOL
But yes, if one of my wires ever comes apart I'll replace it for free inlcuding shipping. Just send me the wire so I can see what went wrong and I'll replace it. Reimburse you for shipping on the wire you send me as well.
$90 shipped, guaranteed for life.

I do custom length for people all the time. What I do is send them a pre-made long wire and have them use it to measure by. Plus the fact I'm $10 cheaper on them with free delivery and the warranty. If you sent me your measurement you would have the set within 4 days usually
