Got my manifolds off and waiting for header arrival, in the mean time i will change Plug wires, So - what are the Best Methods For Changing Passenger Spark Wires. I dont think im gonna be able to do this without pulling the Ac Compressor Pulley, is there any way around this?

 

Are you going over the top? if not don't route them in the stock location i wasted 2 hrs putting taylors in the stock location. Doing over the tops to 30 mins or so. Much easier to route them and to replace them if they get burnt.

 

On the passenger side I tore out the little plastic bracket that makes a 90 degree turn under the power steering pump and zip tied them in place, much more room that way. Route them from the opti up through the crevice between the AC compressor and the power steering (where that plastic bracket was) and then to the plugs. I tried to keep them all under the hard A/C line to prevent them from bouncing and hitting the header. Stock routing is the best IMO.

 

Hmm this sounds like a good idea. Any good methods for gettin those plug wires off the Opti, its SOO freakin cramed!

 

Gettin em off is easy. Gettin em back on is the hard part, that bottom one on the passenger side is a finger breakin b**ch.
I had to do some creative routing on mine but did not go with the OVC set up cause I HATE making my own wires. I have MSD 8.5s and the last 2 on the driver side I did mount ovc sort of, I did not have room to go underneath the headers. The passenger side I routed down and through the motor mount. Use zip ties liberally and you should not have probs.

 

should i bother wrappin the wires with heat tape ?

 

If you have the exhaust manifolds off, it should be a breeze. I never took anything off the front. Did them one at a time. The front was tedious, but I didn't think it was that hard.
