Default Plug wires longer than MSD's?

I need to find a set of plug wires longer than the MSD's. My pacesetters have the egr tube and the #4 wire rests firmly on the egr tube coming off the header. Any suggestions?

I make them custom length for people all the time Your option on the boots as well, MSD 8.5mm Superconductor wires gauranteed for life vs defects.

The truck ls wires are longer. You could get a set of those. There are relocation kits as well. There's a few sponsers that sell those.

Yep, I carry them all. OTVC LT1 wires, LS1 relocation kit wires and like I said custom length. Just did a set that were 1" longer except one that 4 inches longer than oem ls1.
Best deal on the planet for MSd wires Just an FYI for anyone else in need of custom wire sets or single wires.

Truck wires should be perfect, or get Blanco to make you a single longer wire.

i wouldn't worry about it.

the ceramic coating should keep it from burning. one of my taylors has been touching my header for 4yrs....but looking at it you'd never know.

if you're really worried....get a sleeve for it.

ceramic does jack all for burning wires, I burnt thru one of my boots like that. Just bend the boot until you have it away from the part its touching, it's possible.
