Using Coil Relocation Brackets, Need Longer Wires O.K. so I see all these Coil Relocation Brackets and I wonder where are they Getting the Wire Sets at?
I went to 3 Local Auto Parts stores today and searched for Straight Boot Ends for the Coil in their Universal Sets. None of the Universal Sets had the correct End to Secure it to the Coil Packs, all were like the old distributor end connectors. Every Gen 3 and Gen 4 Engine utilizes the coil packs right above the Plug on the Valve Cover so the Wire Sets are All Very Short.
My Current Project is a S10 with a 2003 5.3, the Coil Packs hit on the A/C housing and on the Brake Booster. I am making new Relocation brackets to move the Coil Packs to the front of the Valve Covers to gain Clearance.
I found these MSD Wires

They don't say how long they are so I asked.
Has Anyone else found a Kit that you can Cut to Length?
My other Option is a set of Hemi Wires that will work but I would have to Cut to length as well.
Thanks,
Joe

This is just one of many places you can find MSD wires that you cut to fit. I used them on my pac relocation, it came with a crimping tool for the ends. Pretty straight forward installation.

Those are Cool Chad but I gotta have straight boots off the Coils.
Looks like a May have to wait till October 1st to get the Msd's new set up.
I made my own Coil brackets, mine are a universal mount meaning they can bolt to either side of the truck style valve cover. Both brackets utilize the three center bolt holes on the valve cover. Putting them on one way points all eight wires to the rear, but by swapping them from one side to the other they now point forward. After Maching them from billet 6061 Aluminum my next operation is to trim some excess weight from them. Stock steel brackets weigh 3/4 lb each, my brackets already weigh that but I look to trim about 5-6 more ounces from them.

I mounted mine underneath the cowling so the angle of the boot from the coils worked out great, the plug boot was straight.
