Wire separators w/ MSD Super's and LO3
For all of you who have put MSD Superconductors on your basically stock L03's, what have you done about wire separators? The stock ones definately aren't big enough. The ones that they sell at the generic parts stores aren't quite big enough for the 8.5 mm's either. The drivers side seem to be resting on the steering shaft as of now. Are there any larger replacement ones that go where the stockers used to go? Any pictures or info would be very helpful, as would part numbers and approximate prices.
Thanks
Thanks

haha I thought I was the only one that had zip ties on my msd wires. Cool I dont feel like I'm alone anymore. I had problems with my old wires laying down on the headers and I replaced them yesterday with msd wires. Since I had just spent double of what I normally spent on stock wires, I didnt want my msd wires laying down on the headers. So I zip tied them away from the headers.

Still not complete...wires too close to headers. This is a modified Moroso centerbolt kit.

Go to your local parts store and get the normal wire seperators that you would have used with the 8mm wires then take a dril and drill them out to 8.5mm it is a little odd doing this but it works.

or get the ones from summit that bolt to the centerbolt valve covers and go on top of the cover and not the ones that drop off the side and you can drill them out

Used the zip ties on mine too. Not professional, but hey it works and its cheap. I like the looks of that engine compartment, DM91RS. Where did you get those valve covers?

The covers came from Summit and are made by TD Performance.

I'm using the 8.5 MSD wires with the Made-For-You Products wire looms for center-bolt valve covers.
They're expensive but look better than any others and hold up well in the hot engine compartment.
Part#5035611 (black), $41.69 from Summit.
Summit#MFY-5035611, also available in a bunch of other colors.
