    Just buy MSD's. Strange though, I never had any issues with my plug wires hitting header primaries, even with my larger MSD's.

    I had them on and off the car MULTIPLE times. Some things you don't just buy used. Avoid ZZP wires too.

    Should be MSD part#32799. They're like $60.

    parts store wires clear the headers, not sure what you looking for really.

    i use the plastic wire clips to hold the wires in place so they dont touch anything on the back side.

    the front side i use the plastic wire holder on the valve cover.

    Nick just doesn't like ZZP. I know a lot of people that run their wires and have not had any issues. IIRC their wires are just modded MSDs anyway.

    No just go with the stock AC Delcos and route them properly so they dont hit the headers. Look at Scotts pic to see what I am talking about.

    From everything that I have read, the stock spark plug wires work just as good if not better than any of the aftermarket ones, and also have less issues. Same goes for the coils. You will not see much if any benefit from running the aftermarket ones, most people do it for the aesthetics.
    I think what Blue and Reptile are referring to is that the ZZP wires were known to cause misfires, supposedly they fixed that issue in their new ones.

    This ^^

    I just let mine sit on top of the fan shroud. I clipped them together right under the left dogbone. BTW, I just got new ac's installed and the rear 3 are freakin long! I could just about wrap them around the block once. What's up with that?

    You're over thinking it.

    Wires are wires.

    I just got the MSD's because of the lifetime deal. The durability is top notch. I gave you the part # too earlier. Just google it and buy the cheapest ones you find.
