OTVC routing? I'm getting ready to do my stainless Pacesetter LT knock-off install this weekend, I'll be throwing poly motor mounts and a set of OTVC wires on while I'm at it.
My question: Does anyone have a good picture of the wire routing from the Opti to the valve cover area? I can't find any pictures or directions on routing them. (or an easy way to identify which wires are for which cylinder - 99blanco MSD kit)
Thanks!

lay the wires out side by side, longest to shortest. the longest 2 are the #7 and 8 wires. next longest 2 are the #5 and 6 wires...so on and so forth. Your opti cap has numbers on it that tell you which plug goes to which cylinder. do the plug wires one at a time and start from the back working your way up to 1 and 2.
Also the OTVC brackets are pretty self explanitory...the 2 slot ges to the back, and the 3 slot goes to the very front on the valve covers.
with the routing, the driver side is simple with PLENTY of room...bring zip ties to control the excess.
The pass side is a little harder. I went underneath my alternator, behind the alternator bracket with all of the. there is JUST enough room and again, use zip ties. Zip tie them all together to make sure they dont swing around and contact the belt, headers, etc.

Yeah, the drivers side is going to be easy since I pulled the AIR pump. On the PS did you have to take off or loosen the accessory bracket to get the wires under it? I had a lot of trouble trying to do that when I ran stock-route replacement wires a couple years ago. (can't remember exactly how I ended up doing them. I guess I mentally blocked all the knuckle scraping and frustration.)
