Coil Relocation...wires? If I was to just mount my coils in line on my firewall and run wires under my flipped headers, can I just purchase a set of stock wires for a 1998 GMC with a standard V8? I got a set and they are the perfect length and are grey and black to boot. I don't know if it is solid, spiral, etc... Will they work or do you need an aftermarket one such as MSD?
I wasn't sure if any of the older stock ones would work. I didn't know what the difference is. My current ones are from a 2003 sububan 5.3 coil and wires. Like I said, these stock ones from O'reilly's fit like they were custom made but are called for a stock 350 NOT a LS style engine with coils.
Thanks.

Del, I think the ends are different on the coil side.
I did the relocation on mine and just bought spools of MSD wire and bought MSD ends so I could make up the lengths I needed.
Since you already have the wires, just buy the MSD ends for the coil side and put them on your wires. The ends are pretty cheap.

as long as the wires dont get hot and break, keep stock ones, easy to replace at any store. MSD's are overpriced and I am willing to bet you cant tell any difference in performance.
