how do you guys keep your oversized plug wires in order? i just put new taylors on.... i bought them about a year ago and i just found out they arent the best wires... anyways the coil wire wont work...so scrap it...

how do you guys keep the wires together or nice and neat. instead of sticking out away from the engine like 6 inches getting in the way and tucked up close to the block?

 

Larger wire organizers and lots of zip ties.
Or the best thing to do is get an OTVC wire kit.

 

the otvc wires wont work without headers will they? my fiance almost killed me when i bought a bolt kit for the engine

 

I don't see why not.

 

ok then ovtc wires it is... thanks ss.slp.ls1 once again you came to my rescue...as always... but the sad thing is i found an ls1 drop in cheap... should i do it?

 

No no no no no! Don't use an OTVC kit with stock manifolds! The design of the manifolds will make the install look extremely gawdy using long wires and odd routing. Not to mention burning the wires will be very easy.

IMO, a bad idea. Only go with an OTVC setup if you have headers.

Personally though, I switched from OTVC to conventional routing and am much happier.

 

stick with LT1...stay faithful! lol

 

How cheap?

 

Right...OTVC are not for use with stock manifolds. They would lay right on the manifolds and burn up.

 

Gotcha, haven't had stock manifolds for years, my bad.

 

EXACTLY! There is really no point in OTVC wires. It is not hard to keep the stock ones out of the way if you try. Plus it looks way cleaner IMO

 

ok maybe it just looks weird since i dont have the a/c p/s and alt or the bracket on. now im trying to figure this wiring harness out. its a freakin mess. melted wires spliced wires i just want to shoot the %*$#ing moron i bought the car from.

and slp i have a wrecked mustang that im selling and going to buy an ls1. and maybe trade my complete lt1 car for an ls style roller

 

You might be better off buying a new harness and save yourself time shifting through the nightmare. Some people just have no clue when it comes to wiring.
LS platform is nice. You'll notice right away how much easier it is to work on. And you'll love how leak free an LS1 can be.

 

ok you got me sold on the leak free part lol. sounds too good to be true. the only vehicle i have ever owned that didnt leak oil is the cobalt. slp can you help me find how tos on the wiring fix? like to hide some of it better?

 

I just can't get over how bad the front end of a 98-02 looks.
Plus LT1s just sound beefier and more manly. +2342352134562314623 on being easier to work on though!

 

You'd probably have to PM that Speed Inc guy. I don't do much for appearance under the hood. Just performance and convenience.

 

If anyone is interested in appearance under the hood, contact 01SOMSS! He knows his stuff on that. Hope you like chrome if you talk to him, but very few people's cars are as clean and pretty as his.

 

or i could just get this....

Good deal!

 

i found a newer trans am in topeka for 5k the other day. dirt cheap i couldnt believe it.

ss what would my trans am be worth just needing the wiring and ac ps and alt put back on?
