i just bought the msd 8.5 mm superconductor wire set and was wondering if there is any trick to getting them into the stock wire looms.

I put some MSD 8mm wires in about 2 years ago and I dont want to be the barrer of bad news but I wish I would have put the small diamater wires in. I did them along with a spark plug change and a header install. So I had some things out of the way and it still was a giant pain. The larger wires just didnt want to go in the stock looms. I finally did get them in with a bunch of swearing but I would recomend getting smaller wires. Unless someone here knows of larger looms you can put in. Good Luck.1997 30th Anniversary Z28.

I've heard of people taking a Dremel to the bracket on the front of the engine that has the grooves for the 4 passenger side wires. Beyone that, you can buy wire "separators" in a variety of sizes. It's going to be awful tight pushing the wires under the power steering bracket. I have the MSD 8.5's but my wire routing is "unconventional"

hey thanks for your input, what kind of setup do you have on your wires?Originally posted by InjuneerI've heard of people taking a Dremel to the bracket on the front of the engine that has the grooves for the 4 passenger side wires.

Optispark optical sensor feeds a MoTeC M48Pro engine mangement computer, which feeds a MoTeC IEX 8-channel ignition driver, which drives 8 LS1-style coils thru MSD 8.5mm SuperConductors to very cold plugs.Fred
