LT1 plug wires! i finally found the trick! hope this helps!
i put longtubes on my 93z and went through 2 sets of plug wires before i found the trick. stock ones of course my car ate through them in 15 minutes. that was expected. i bumped it up to morosso 8mm plug wires and just routed them slightly different. those lasted about a week. then i finally got smart and ordered some heat shield boots from jegs and slipped them over some msd8.5mm wires. this is what i came up with.
these are the heat boots from jegs.
the tricky part came at the #6 cyl. on teh passenger side ( i believe it was number 6... third one back ) i had to route this wire under the motor mount because the heat boots do not like to bend. this is why i couldnt really do it any other way. if anyone really wants a pic of how i routed them please tell me. i dont want anyone to go through the same thing i did.-
remember your not going to have much room to work with. this is the only way that i could find to work without going to OTVC.
also i can send more detailed pics of how i routed the wires. just ask.

I hope this does the trick for you.
First time I ever built an engine, I made a custom set of 10mm plug wires for it, then watched with horror when I lit off the engine for the first time and two of them went up in flames from glowing headers. Yup, you need fiberglass socks on our cars, and tie wraps to keep them in towards the engine block. I guess, some things, you just get to learn the hard way
