kyle,
amazing how it seems to be the simple things, lol!!!
i have over 4 years on my wires, and they are perfect! i check them visually for damage and the resistance every year.
3 things i attribute to their longevity. 1. msd wire sleeving. 2. DEI boot protectors. 3. appropriate zip ties in the right places to help reduce the intensity of the heat on the boots/wires.
they have paid for themselves multiple times over. especially when it comes to trouble shooting issues ( ie. I know my wires are spot on!).
yeah i know the **** isn't cheap! about 125 for the sleeving and boots, but how much is a set of wires. hell maybe you can even get a set of MSD wires to last for a few years!
I have a customer with a 68 vette in his shop for some repairs, i am getting him sleeves and new wires to strap onto his customer's 427 sbc vette.
heat kills! period.......

I can prove this theory wrong. So can a certain vid on this site. This car just cant hook up.
Kyle if I lived a lil closer I would come give you another set of hands to help out. And some cold units. But we both know a header gasket can kick my *** for about an hour.
