OTVC wires

well its been almost a year and i still havent recieved my wires from elite... but im not going to get into that.

for all i know, my plug wires might still be original, and theyve miraculously been holding up to the heat of my headers in the stock locations. I know the last owner did not change them. I want to do a tune-up this spring though so i think those have to go. is there any other cut-to-fit kits out there? All ive come up with is the taylor kit you have to cut yourself. I guess if i have to go through that PITA theres no way around it, but i want to make sure first. thanks and i apologize if this is beat to death, but i wasnt finding anything

MSD makes a cut to fit kit and i think its 100x better than the taylor setup but its also about $20-30 more expensive too.

I don't know of any companies other then Elite that made OTVC wires sets. I noticed their website has been down for awhile now. I wonder if they finally closed their doors? I have the Elite wires right now, once they need replacement I will be cutting my own via the Taylor kit.

I called and ordered mine from Summit a few years ago. I think they have them or can get them you just have to call. It looks like the price has gone up too. They want $95 for a set of stock length ones. I think i paid like $75 for my set of cut to fit.

Also you'll probably have to drill out your looms to run the MSD's because they're a larger 8.5mm wire.

The only complete kit i've seen that comes with looms is the thunderracing setup. If you want any other wire you'll need to order some looms as well.
