Default coil relocation plug wires?

I see post where people do the coil relocation but no one ever says what kind of plug wires they use and where they get them. So to those that have done this what kind and where did you get them? Thanks.

You need a set of Universal wires with straight plug ends, and a set of Taylor part number 46052 Opti Spark Ends.

redrumss, are you talking about the LT1 wires, or did you call them and discuss the remote application? All they list is for stock location. Thanks

PPC can build the coil relocation wire sets. We don't currently offer a complete kit, however.

We have done these for various customers as a custom set made to the customer's request & measurements.

The current measurements that we have are as follows:

2 wires at 22"
2 wires at 26"
2 wires at 31"
2 wires at 35"

These were done for redrumss.

If you would like a set like this or any other measurements, just email.

Thanks,

Gordon
