Go to Summit and search for Made4You wire looms.

MSD 8.5 cut-to-fit wires (#32129)
Made For You black wire looms (#5035611)

Got them both from Summit. The MSD wires will run you more than Taylors, but I like MSD better.

Well, here's the driver's side (Made4You / MSD / TR55):

You can do what he did there, or just zip tie the #1 and #3 wires together. But the boot has yet to rotate on me, and I'm just plain lazy .

Yea - I'll pull the #1 and #3 closer together and "tie" them together somehow,
I haven't decided how yet. I want to to use something besides twist ties.

I didn't run the #3 and #4 wires through those middle looms. I ran them through the front looms and that was it. I thought running them through the middle looms brought them too close to the primary.

Right! OK, now I'm confused. #3 is the second cylinder on the driver side. I did
not run it through the middle loom either. #1 and #3 come off the first loom.
#5 and #7 run off the 2nd and 3rd loom. Am I missing something?

#4 is the second cylinder back on the passenger side. I'm not sure if that clears it up or not.

Oh, I get what you're saying now. I thought we were talking about the
driver's side *only*. I guess I'm still confused - were you referring to
my wire routing? My #3 and #4 (opposing cylinders) wires are not routed
through the middle looms (I did the same as Roxy did).

However, Green96Z did.

I saw those photos before routing mine, looked at the installed looms on
mine (before routing wires) and thought that there would be too much
of a bend for the wire (#3 & #4) to make if it were routed through the
middle loom and "back" to #3 (& 4). Needless to say, I opted to not run
#3 and #4 that way.

I was just saying that I didn't route my 3 and 4 wires through the middle looms. I wasn't really referring to anyone else.

It looks like Roxy actually did route 4 through the middle loom.

Probably in an attempt to confuse us all
