I'd go over the valve covers also, I think it's easier to route them that way.

The MSD 8.5 aren't long enough to do OVC. Also, you don't mention if you have headers or not. If you don't there's no reason to do OVC.

I run MSD 8.5mm wires in the stock location with shorty headers. With some neatly placed zipties I've been able to run them without any burned wires for over a year now.

I have OVC and I am 100% confident that I will never burn a wire, there is atleast a couple inches of clearance betwewen each primary and the wire!

I put a set of taylor OVC wires for Flyboys 93 Z and the bigger talyor wires wouldn't fit in the factory plastic pieces for the wires so i ended up re routing them. I tried and tried to put them in the factory location but couldnt and I didn't want to ruin a wire. Hope this helps.

Go stock... if it comes that way from the factory you are sure it's going to last. It's only logical...
