I used the taylor over the valvecover kit, for just over 100 dollars came with wires (cut to fit) sepreators, and pliers. way easier and slicker than under the manifold stock style. less burned wires if ya route em right. p.s. a little hint..........the pass side wires have to run between the block and the acessory drive mount on the front of the motor. Tight squeeze, close, but they will clear the belt with the right amount of zip ties in the right places. Hope this helps, prorac1

go with the Accel 300+ race wires. i have had mine for about 11,000 miles and have had no problems. my msd's only lasted me about a month before i swapped them.

That is if he has headers. If he has headers OTVC routing is the ONLY way to go IMHO.

I have headers with regular routing. Just zip-tie them away from the headers and you'll be fine. I have MSD 8.5mm ones and they've been fine for me for about a year now. Even pulled off a header yesterday and there was no burned ones at all.

Cool

I'm running extra-long Vitek wires over the valve covers. I have headers and already burned up a set of Accel 9000 wires. They are insulated to 1100 deg, and have high-temperature boots. Here's the web site:

Dave
