Default Plug Wires

So, in a couple of weeks, I planned on changing plugs and wires just for some routine maintenance on the car. I had planned on going with this deal through WS6Store because it seemed like a pretty good price for plugs and wires, and I've heard a lot of people say that NGK TR-55's are really good plugs. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...afc83e1e91bce2. My question is, since I have an over-the-valve cover wire setup on the drivers side, will I be able to use these wires? Or, am I going to have to get some universal wires and cut them to fit? And if they won't work with the over-the-valve cover, would I be able to run them without going over the valve covers, even though I have headers?

you are going to have to buy the universal wires and cut them if you plan on doing the otv wires

Would I be able to not go otv though and be fine? Because if I have to go otv, then I'll be spending another $40 or so more.

why don't you get application wires fit-to-spec and route them in the factory location. i have MSD 8.5mm and they fit fine. none are burnt either after 10,000mi

Yeah, I don't really want to burn wires. What wires would be better, some MSD universals or Taylors? Right now I have Taylor universals on it.

I was just scared of burning wires. Maybe I'll try out getting the kit that I linked to in the original post and see how that goes, and if I do burn any wires or not. I think I'd rather pay $97+shipping for plugs and wires rather than $1XX+shipping on just wires, then another $18+shipping on the plugs.

if they're routed in the factory location, they won't get burnt.

Ok, cool. I wasn't sure if they would or not with headers.
