So my #6 MSD wire burnt up on me. Not sure what caused it yet. Any chance someone out there has an extra 8.5mm Super Conductor MSD wire laying around I can buy from them?

let me guess you have some pacesetter LT's

the number 6 is usually the first to go, it gets super close to the primary on #6 i've been down that road before, i've got a couple spare wires but i know my #6 is burned up

Nope..Mac mid lengths

Any way to correct this problem so it doesn't happen again?

small electrical zip-ties and plenty of them, tie the wires off to anything and everything to prevent them from vibrating lose and touching the headers

Try your local speed shop. The one around here has the msd 8.8 wire on a big roll. They will custom make you a single wire.
