Thanks for the reply, they are on my list to contact, as well as MSD, was hoping to find the people who actually manufacture the part, yet this may be my only source...

I did my own coil relocation and was going to make up my own wires, but I found it way cheaper to get the Katech version instead. Amazing how all the parts added up!

My example:

You can also order the ends for an LT1 distributor side of the wires. They are the same end parts.

I was thinking you could get them MSD as well but I wasn't able to find anything online, I thought that they had a build your own kit and sold parts unnecessary to building custom wires also. But like you said chances are there are just a few companies that actually manufacture the parts that they use.

Did you grind off the lower mount holes and weld them up?

MSD makes a wire kit for relocation applications. You cut the wires to fit your situation. They even include a crimper tool in the kit. I cannot remember the part number. But it is available.

PS Or you can use a LT1 wires and cut the wires to fit your application. That is what I did back about 2004 when I relocated my coils. I fabricated a kit using mis hardware from home depot and LT1 wires. When I replaced the wires a couple of years ago I used the MSD relocation wires.

Good eyes!!

I saw/grind off mounting bosses, then reamed remaining holes, machined T6 pins .0005" larger to provide press fit, then leveled off. I didn't want to distort valve covers with welding heat!
