    Default MSD Spark plug wires

    SOOO in anticipation of my headers, I want to get a set of the MSD wires. I guess the stock wires will not clear the headers completely on one side.


    I called Hawaii racing (my local speed shop) and they told me that the 6.0L corvette and GTO wires will work ok on the G8. I got part number 32813.
    Just curious if this is the same number that others have used.

    Look at the JBA wires Wretched sells. They will work with the factory spark plug boot metal shields and fit like the factory wires. I just put a set on my car.

    I dont see those for the G, only the camaro. Are they the same (I dont know why they wouldnt be)
    The MSD wires I can get are 60.00 bux and in stock locally.

    Nope, Mids... trying to at least look legal. I guess the 1 3/4s will clear fine, but the 1 7/8th just barely touch. I dont have the headers yet, so I am trying to make for a smooth install...

    My son has a set of MSD wires that he never put on his GTO. I was thinking about sticking them on my car. Are you saying they won't fit the metal shields ?? Are the shields needed ??

    Same thing. I have 1 7/8 ARH and they are not even close to the headers.

    arent the mid length tubes more squished together than LTs?

    They don't fit the shields correctly. I like using the shields when possible as it prolongs the boot life.

    My stock wires fit fine, there is one on the passenger side, the second one back that touched, I just squeezed the shield a little to clear. Also the MSDs seem like they pull to tight, has something to do with the angle of the spark plug boot or the length of the wire. I'm looking for a set and would not recommend the MSD, I'm not saying they will not fit, just do not like how tight they fit. I'd go with the ones Charlie mentioned.

    Can I run stock wires for a little while? If there is contact maybe some header wrap so I can order the wretched ones?

    I went and looked at the msd wires and they are with flexable boots... Made for the 6L GTO and vette.... They asked if LS3 heads were taller...
