Here is a pic of it all done

Just remember that the left side of the Opti is timed different than the right. I couldnt really see the left side so i just went by the right side and crossed the two middle plug wires.

Elitesparkplugs.com now makes a kit that doesnt have to be cut or crimped. I would go with them if i were you although i didnt have any trouble making my own.

They are actually cheaper than Taylors and vailable in 9mm.

I like my otvc wire set up. No more burning and looks nice. If you get the universal wires, my best tip is use lots of silicone spray to get those opti boots on!

I used their dialectric grease and it worked fine. You just need to be sure you lube them up good.
