Re: cant use my MSD wires =(

MSD is typically very good.

When people pull on and off the boots they slids them back and fourth on the wire they are just on there by means of a tight/press fit.

Just adjust accordingly you might have moved them around.

crAzy95z28 you stated it came with 10 wire. That means 8 plug wires and two other wires. One wire is for later model LT1 that have a different coil which is the reason for it to be the same on each end. The other wire in the kit should be an opti end and the other a 90 typical end. Take a look you might have overlooked this.

I didn't know.......i had to measure them out and mark them off the website, and when i was doing that i noticed that funny one was the LT1 coil wire.
