Default Spark Plug Wire Question!
I just ordered the Taylor Thundervolt 8.2 mm Spark Plug Wires from Summit Racing... Is that extra .2 mm going to give me problems for fitment in the stock route? I have used 8 mm summitracing wires in the old 98 camaro i used to have and had no problems with fitment or anything...any input is appreciated

Thanks!

Jethro meant to say that the "center conductor" wire is 8.2mm vs your current 8.0mm. The fitment should be identical unless one company vs. the other has a psychotic setup.

The conductor wire up the middle of the insulation is nowhere even remotely close to 8.2mm...the entire width of the wire and insulation is 8.2mm.

That would be the biggest plug wire in history.
