Thunder racing used to sell to different kits but I guess they went out of business a couple months ago. Pretty much what you need is a good cut to fit set of wires, terminal ends for lt-ls, and some good wire seperators (this part was what thunder racing had that determined the two kits and the only thing that will need some thinking with. I think one mounted on top of valve covers at each bolt and one mounted and routed on the side of valve covers.

Header wrap has the potential to catch fire if oil is spilled on it. It also destroys headers over time. There are high temp sleeves that can be slipped over the ignition wires.

Re: 95 z28 m6 ignition problem

I've had great results with the Taylor woven fiberglass "Fire Sleeves" that slip over the plug wires. Don't hesitate to use nylon ties to hold the plug wires in a position where they can't contact the headers. Of course you have to keep the nylon ties away from the headers as well
