Default What Spark Plug wires??

Did a Turbo LQ4 swap into a 1981 TTA, and the truck manifolds are burning the stock wires. I need longer wires so I dont have to go thru the manifolds. I saw a post of someone getting S10 wire, but I dont know the year, or engine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yes they have heat wrap, but old so they are burnt, dont like running them through there any way. Also thanks for the MSD# im hoping for a more budget friendly solution, but if it come down to it may have to go with MSD. Anyone else?

I used MSD wires for LS engines. The wires came with spark plug ends straight and 90* on each end. You cut off the end you are not going to use to the lenth you need then add the coil end to the wire and you have custom lenth MSD wires.

I think many are using LT1 wire and shorting them, as they have the same boots for the coil and will work on the plugs.

I recall reading a few threads on people using them, try searching on Coil Relocation and plug wires.
