So planning to go back to stock routing and have SLP shorties on my 96 LT1.

For you that have this set up..did you do anything special for plug wire #7? It looks like it'll have to wrap around the collector on the header, so how did you keep it in place for that plug? Did you add a heat protector on the wire? Any problem with it flopping around and touch the steering column?

Let me know your tricks...before this weekend if possible.

 

I used the stock wire protector metal piece for #7. Runs close to the head. I user MSD wires. I also use the stock metal plug protectors as provided by stock. I use a wire twist retained to secure them onto the MSD plug boots. I have had no problems for years. To change #7 boot, I strip and crimp the MSD wire in place on the engine. 97ss 383 - D1. B.

 

I finished it yesterday.

Passenger side routed as stock..used stock looms.

Driver side #7...I routed away from the other 3 which were straight forward. For #7 I went along the brake lines below the steering column..then looped back around to plug 7...kinda from the rear. Boot turns 90 to rear of the car. I was surprised that wire was actually that long.

More interesting, I think I found my problem with random misfires...need to take pics of the old Taylor OTVC wires...but when I pulled the wire from the opti end...the whole crimp end just broke in half on one of the wires...ugg...I'll load pics when I have them.

Thanks for your feedback.
