I will be ordering an over the valve cover wire kit for the LT1 in a few days, I am undecided on which one to go with.
Which ones look the best, on top or on the side of the valve cover?


I am going to try and find some better examples, but that pic gets the point across.

 

I tried the side mounts and there were a terrific PITA to deal with and install. Settles for the tops and was a lot happier.

 

I believe those are taylor 8mm wires. MSD offers theirs in a 8.5mm, would they still fit through those bracket looms?

 

Who sells the OVC brackets? Danny Mc

 

Check out Thunder Racing, they sell the Made-For-You loom kits.

 

Does MSD make an OTVC kit, or do you have to buy their bulk wire, boots, etc. and make your own?

 

MSD has a cut to fit set available. You have to install the plug end and it comes with the crimping tool for a vice. The taylors shown above you also have to cut to fit but install the opti end. I had those before the MSD and they are a royal PITA to get the boots on the wire because they come with 7mm boots for 8mm wire.

 

Thunder Racing has the best price. I added up all the stuff through Summit and it was like $200. Thunder Racing was like $130 or something.
And they advertise it as a kit, so you know all the stuff works together. Z28Roxy, can you post a pic of how you ran your wires on the passenger side? I noticed they come up inside teh alternator. I ran mine in the stock location behind it. It was a pain in my *******, and the wires are pretty close to the moving belt.

 

i bought the msd ovc wires becasue the opti end is already crimped on them and i did the side mound because i have lt4 valve covers. and im happy
