wire problems.... ok so about a month ago i replaced my pluggs and wires...and i didnt put the wires in the little holder thing..now one is on top of one of my pulleys getting shredded apart...and i was just wondering if there is another way i can run some msd bigger wires cuz i know there not gunna fit in those litttle wire holders behind the pulles....i heard i can run them on top of the valuve covers some how...anybody know what i would need to do it? and maybe some pics please...thanks
look up the "Made-4-U" OTVC Wire looms, and make contact with 99BlancoSS on here. Made-4-U will give you the looms and brackets for an OTVC setup for about 60 bucks, and 99BlancoSS will make custom cut 8.5mm MSD Superconductor SP Wires to run up and over the valve covers so you can do that...it will alleviate all of your issues. shoot me your email address and I will send you a few pictures of that same exact setup I have on my 1997 SS Camaro LT1...It is completely worth it to alleviate all those pesky little issues we have with SP Wires burning on headers, and getting caught up in pullies and sh*t...

i oerdered the wires today..should be here around monday..now iam change the spark plugs to why iam at it..but i was wondering what should the gapps be set at? and iam use auto light spark pluggs...
autolites have mixed emotions by alot of people...some say great and no issues ever, some say garbage...depends on your experience. I stuck with ACDelco plugs. Gap should be .050

Verdad Gallardo some people say to drop to 35...I have heard many people say that it has cause performance problems doing that. I'm sure ss.slp.ls1 has seen this thread and can tell you why it has problems, or why it may be better...I'm not positive, but he would prolly know
not always...and then if you ever have to change plug wires that makes it even MORE of a MF because you gotta fight with those. I tried zip ties and got so pissed off at them. On top of that OTVC wires look SO much better and it SO much easier to change plug wires later!!! definately worth EVERY penny

ok so i went to put them on and i still got ehaust manifulds and i was wondering if the otvc kit will work with them still?? i dont think they will but does anyone know if they will? or do i need headers before i can install them?? thanks..
IMO, OTVC wires are a bit cheezy looking. I suppose it's more function over form. Hypocritical, I know.
I've since gotten rid of them and went with conventional routing. Thread Starter
