With longtubes do you re-use factory wire looms

For plug wires, did you completely do away/unbolt all the factory wire loom brackets? The ones I am replacing the stock ones with are a little wider but may still fit the looms

I think most people go with an over the valve cover loom set up, they can be bought at thunderracing.com

I dont think OTVC will work for me since I already have plug wires which I dont think are the correct lengths for OTVC. they are 8mm, will they still fit in the looms?

Stock wires are 7mm, with some persuasion from a file, you should be able to get them in there.

I hated the stock looms. After running my old MSD wires with my LTs I burned one, so I went OTVC and have been happy ever since. No more chance of burning or rubbing, and it looks great too.

Return the wires you have and buy some for the OTVC setup if you can, If you cant right now plan to do it soon.
