Doing the MSD Super Conductor wires,

Should I reuse the heatshield from the OEM wires or no?

I did a search, and only found 2 posts on it.

Thanks.

I have taylor wires - was glad to get rid of those heat shields.

I have MSD and put the heat shields on. Didn't hurt anything, and just provides additional heating protection. I also labled the shields for each cylinder for ignition trouble shooting if neccesary.

Im using them on mine, the way I look at it is that they must be their for a reason and your not benefiting at all if you take them off so whats the point?

MSD and I reused them..why wouldn't anyone do the same.. ....they are extra heat protection and fit MSD wires fine.

No heat shields on my msd's. They don't even get close to the headers and I've never had a problem with them.

I decided to use them, they fit so eh........

Got the drivers side done.....

Got all the wires off but number 8 sonabitch. I am loosening the coil rail as we speak, but I am having a hell of a time getting to the last bolt.

Total time so far 1hr 40min

I reused mine, there is no reason not to reuse them so why not just have the extra insurance? especially after paying for the new wires, if I were you I would want to protect them to avoid messing with the plugs/wires again as we all know what a bitch it can be....

Taylors here.... I re-used them. Really it comes down to personal preference.

Personal preference. You dont need them but it doesnt hurt to have them.

The MSD wires are able to withstand the heat without the shields (as long as they're not touching the header pipes).

I didn't use them with my MSDs.

I pull the springs out of the heatshields and then slide the sheilds over my MSD 8.5'S. I'd rather have a slightly unattractive plug cover than a burnt plug wire 50 miles from home.

well, it doesnt hurt to leave them off...... but leaving them on, its a PITA, ugly, and another thing for me to cut my hands on... so i always leave them off.
