Is it neccesary to re use the cheap wire loom that the original wires are run through? Or just go with out it. Im installing MSD 8.5
wires.

 

I left out the loom when i did my wire install b/c the 8.5s are to big for the stock 1/4 inch loom. just make sure that your wires are clear of your manifolds.

 

Actually Im talking about the black loom the runs the entire length of the wires , I case its supposed to protect them.

 

kinda off topic but are these MSD 8.5 wires worth the $

 

Going with out loom is ok just make sure you are not touching anything that will damage you new wires!

 

Go over the top of your valve covers with a loom kit, much easier to work on.

 

Hi Guys...

Can you use the MADE FOR YOU wire loom (ususally for 7-9 mm wires) with the 9.5mm wires...

OR...should I get a different center bolt loom...got any suggestions ...

Thanks,
TDOG

 

I didn't keep any of the stock looms except for the one right next to the opti on the passenger side (which I enlarged with my Dremel to fit 8.5 mm wires). I got a set of Moroso looms (same as MSD/M4U) made for 8.5 mm wires to keep them routed nicely.

 

The convoluted tubing is a good idea to keep away any mechanical abrasions.
