Default What plug wires to use when relocating coils??

I'm moving the coils to the cowl panel and I'm not sure what custom set of wires will fit.
I want the MSD super conductor 8.5mm wires, but the boots are for a distributor.

How do you guys make this work??????

you have 3 msd options:

MSD makes a universal cut-to-fit LS1 wire set with straight plug ends 32039

I did the LT1 wire set (LT1 opti connector is the same as the LS1 coil), but I needed 90* plug ends for my application (forcing me to use a LT1 wire set) so I used 32139



you can also get the LT1 wires with straight connectors at the coil (with a 90* plug end) 32139.

it all depends on how you want to route the wires...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I like the option of having both.

Moroso has a "Ultra 40" LS1 cut to fit set with the right boots. Havent used them yet. You can really use almost any EMI suppressed wire, but you'll have to get a set of LT1 coil boots, taylor makes them.

The MSD site shows a LS1/LS6 set that is universal with both a 90 degree and OEM style boot. It say's perfect for relocating the coils.

I just looked through my jegs book and they don't list that set. Is it that they just can not list every wire set MSD makes???

I'm putting them on the list and will call to see if they can get them for me.
