Default Spark Plug wire help?

My aftermarket rockers were hitting my valve covers so i had to order 1/2 inch spacers. I've heard of people using truck spark plug wires before because they are longer, but I was wondering if anyone here has used a 1/2 inch valve cover spacer and still used their stock spark plug wires? If it makes any difference I have MSD Spark plug wires, i think they are the same length as stock though?? Will my wires be long enough to connect coils to spark plug?

Distributor??? what year Camaro?

I make custom length MSD 8.5mm Superconductor wires for people all the time so I can help you out if you need new wires. Price would be the same or actually less than the truck wires from Summit.

They might work, its hard to say there isnt any slack in them thats for sure. If they dont, are they new still? or used? I'll exchange them for you if they are new. If not try and sell them and I'll set you up with a custom length set. If you get $25 for them then a new set will only cost you $30

Well, I had the wires running on the car for a couple of minutes for the firest start up, until i noticed the sound of the rockers hitting the valve covers, so i guess you woulud call them used.

You mean the newer Truck ones..?

I know the older Truck Coils, the Circle ones, are the ones that are supposively better..and the wires on them are the same length as the F-body.
