How about running the wires in parallel under the center covers down the length of the valve covers, drop out at each plug. Notch the rear and feed to the coils. You could do something like the 60's Corvettes and cover the wires all the way to the coils. Be prepared for possibly creating crossfire issues if the wires get too close together. Again like the early corvettes there is a solution.

This is going to be a killer project, hope you're going to do a full build thread!
Tell me about the chassis you're using, the IFS looks familiar, is it TCI or Fatman's or ?

Thanks Mike!

It is a Fatman stub.

I'm having a lot of fun. Wanted to do something different. Been an Olds guy my whole life, but love all cars.

Anyway, you don't see many custom 55 88 post cars.

I have a build thread going on ClassicOldsmobile.com.

Although the reception has been luke warm, there a few folks on there that "get it" so I keep posting updates when I have them. I've also been moving pretty slow, so it's not as exciting as most of the builds on here.

I do appreciate the help and opinions from everyone here for sure.

I've learned a lot just reading.
