Talking Anyone know lengths of brands of OTVC wires?

Ok, I googled it, and searched here... I want to know the lengths of OTVC wires elite uses, as well as taylors for the LT1 motor. I am trying to get a good feel for the lengths I will need, becuase I am getting cumstom magnecors. I have had trouble with msd and taylor, so I want magnecors. I am willing to dish out the cash, cuz without spark my motor is junk. So, can someone point me in the direction of some diagrams, or measure theirs and let me know as well as the brand used?? If someone is using a different brand, let me know the other brands available too!
Id appreciate it!
Thanks
Cody

i got a kit from thunder racing and it came with Taylor wires. I had to make each wire, so you can custom make each length to what you want.

Taylor doesn't make a custom fit (premade) OTVC kit for the LT1.

i'm ordering the OTVC kit from taylor on www.thunderracing.com tonight actually. included is all the wires, wire looms, longer valve cover bolts (for top mount) and the crimper tool to put the opti boot end on after cutting to whatever length you need. seems like a pretty nice package deal to me, i'm just tired of having a burned wire

Right, they are talking about the kit you need to cut to fit, that's all.

MSD I think just calls it 32129. The opti ends are installed, you just cut to length and install the plug boot end.

Re: Anyone know lengths of brands of OTVC wires?

I don't think you searched hard enough:
http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=441566

Here are the lengths of my Elite spark plug OVC wires:
1. 29"
2. 30.5"
3. 33"
4. 33"
5. 37"
6. 41"
7. 41"
8. 40.5"
C. 10.25
As measured BETWEEN the boots.

I just got my custom magnecors (which I had built with these measurements and they fit great) in about an hour ago, and the car just feels fantastic..
To EliteSparkPlugs:


New setup w/Magnecors:
