A. G. Olphart Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Other than spark plugs, how does one tune an injected engine with solid state ignition? (I don't know the engine, but Assume injection by build date). As to wires: It is possible that some formula one teams use unobtaineum wires at that price, but I don't see that anyone else should have to spend that kind of money just to get a spark moved from one place to another. Those vendors are disciples of P.T. Barnum, looking for the one a minute folk. High temperature boots make a difference, spiral wound wires make a difference (the inductance tends to kill RF noise), good dialectric makes a diference (8mm vs 7mm helps for any given material, but the ends need to match your distributor). Other than that, I have, in an emergency, run a peice of coat hanger as a coil wire. Congratulations on your engine find: it will make a great HybridZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ernie, Plug wires....MSD has a nice set that is universal, but has the Opti side pre-assembled. If you want the part number, I can find it for you. Summit has it. As for OEM parts, best places are: http://www.GMPartsDirect.com and Jason Cromer @ Sam Taylor Buick/Cadillac in Fort Walton Beach Florida. Jason has the Best prices on certain big ticket items, like water pump--$126 and Opti was about $50 less than ANYWHERE else... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ernie, Here you go: MSD part number: 32139 Or summit part number:MSD-32139 http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MSD%2D32139 Like I said, it comes with the Opti side of the wire pre-assembled (apparently it's very easy to mess it up, that's why MSD does it at the factory), and comes with a cool little crimping tool and cutting tool to do the other side. The wires are plenty long enough, with even the shortest of the wires being long enough for the #7, or #8 plugs. Just read the directions on crimping really well before starting.
