Quick OTVC Wires question....

I tried searching but no body has the same headers as me so i figured i would ask here.

Ok i have Edlebrock prototype shorties, on the drives side, the headers come up almost level with the valve cover then they go down to the cat.

I wanna know what you guys think before i buy these wires.


(should i just run cool socks on that side?)

With shorties (especially on a dual cat car) it might be better to just run the wires in the stock location.

Can you post up some pictures showing clearance?

I have an idea how the primary pipes are routed, but without a photo, it's
going to be difficult to be sure. However, based on what I've seen, you
will probably want to route that side "lower" - bring the wires across from
underneath - it wont make sense to route them across the valve covers
and then try to figure out how to get them over the primaries.

the it almost looks like i should run the stock style on the drivers side and ovtc on the passengers side


the drivers side header comes up and looks kinda like a "tuned length" header

the passenger side looks like a long tube that someone cut short

Generally, with shorties, stock routing is preferred. I'm not sure what the "prototypes" involve, but it sounds like it you bought the do it yourself kit and cut/crimped your own wires, it would be your best bet.
