Haha... I also did the same for #5 and #7. So far so good.

Jeez man that sucks. I had that happen with a set of wires along time back, i believe they were MSD's.. The price point that the other wires come in make it well worth it if they work lol

I'll second the Taylor OTVCs being junk. Their overly soft jacketing started to crack and split after a year, then started leaking spark.

With this talk of going through the motor mount on the driver side i went out and rerouted mine. Tried through the mount but still didnt give the clearance i felt comfortable with so figured out a way to use some plastic wire loom clips i no longer needed(out of zip ties) and got everything tucked up and away from the headers, steering shaft and the block
