Any Spark Plug Wire Walk Through's?

I need to maximize my time as that I don't seem to have much lately.

I have a misfire and I'm going to change out my stock plug wires for some MSD 8.5's.

Have you ever seen a walk through that could point me in the right direction so that I don't waste time removing something that doesn't need to be or trying to make it work when I could have it easier.......

Thanks for you help!

the msd are a little big and sometimes fall out of there holders. make sure you have them tucked away enough so they dont fall out and get burnt. id go with some stockers to make it easier.

Will they be compatible with the stock wire lengths that my MSD kit has?

Just buy a bag of zap straps and keep everything away from the heat. They'll be just fine. I don't even try to use the stock looms (I'm using Taylor's myself).

After burning several wires. I had a few extra sets of wires laying around because you can't just buy one. I mixed and matched the lengths to get around my headers, and that's WITH twist ties.

I wouldn't go with the MSD's. I did, and they've been problems ever since. It's a great wire, but they're so thick it's hard to keep them away from the header on the passenger side.

OTV is a good way. Just buy a 30' roll and 8 of the opti ends and 90 degree boots. Put them together yourself.
