THUNDERZ Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have a 350 SBC in my 78' 280Z. I bought it with the old wires that are on it now, and they are too short...they reach, but they are routed all over the top of the motor to get to the plugs. I was wondering what set to get from Accel or similar that will allow routing them around the valve covers and along side them to the plugs.

TravRMK Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Get the long cut to length ones. Then you will be able to route them to your hearts desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I run the MSD 8.5 mm plug wires, universal set. You cut them to length and install / crimp the dist. boots on them for your application HEI or Old style. I route my wires under the headers to get them out of the way. I have not had any issues with them. Since I run the MSD ignition, coil, timing computer, Dist. I thought I would keep the wires the same. The universal kit comes with the strippers / crimper block to use with them. Also if you make them yourself or before installing ready made wires, always Ohm the wires before using. This way you know the wires are good. Normally a 8.5 mm wire should be 50 ohms or less per foot if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.....

It's pretty easy to cut the MSD wires to length, takes maybe 5 minutes per wire, not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
