Down cylinder

I took my car to a dealership and they said they think i have a down cylinder d/t car running bad at low rpms and kicking up a code with a blinking check engine light. They believe my wires are arching. I just put these msd wires on less than 100 miles. They said with the long tube headers i need to go facotry wires??? What should i go with OTVC wires? Or try factory? little help on running the wires alos.thanks

I would go otvc. They are the best that is what i have and i have been through about ten sets of regular ones. you just never know what will happen under the header. i went behind the p/s pump line on the passenger side and just out there on the driver side

Go out when its dark outside and pop the hood and start the car. If the wires are arching, youll be able to see it. I find it hard to believe that Summit doesnt carry OTVC wires. Maybe you were just talking to someone that doesnt know what they are talking about. Have you tried Jegs? Also, check out some of the supporting vendors on the site. I know for a fact one of them will carry what your looking for.
