Coil wires...

[Mark B]

Hey everyone,
I picked up a set of Taylor Sprial Pro 8mm wires for my 96 LT1 swap. I got the plug wires on, but the coil wire seems to be wrong. It has the wierd opti boot on one side and a standard 90 degree boot on the other. My coil looks like it needs the opti boot as well. Did I get the wrong kit? Are there different kits for different years?

In addition, I am planning on upgrading the coil to a MSD unit in the future. The wiring connector on my stock coil doesnt have the same connector that the MSD GM Blaster coil has. I am assuming that this is different from year to year as well.

What is the best way to go about solving my problems? Should I go get the new coil now and modifiy the wiring to work with it then use the coil igintion wire that I already have?

OK, I went to taylors website & found the info on the coil wire I needed. It turns out I got the wrong wire set from summit. I still need to know about the coil though. If I need to convert to a older coil to upgrade it, then I mine as well do it now so I dont have to return the ignition wire set.

Most aftermarket LT1 sets come with 2 coil wires (one to fit each type of coil). I guess yours did not.

Hey Rob,

Im sure you get this all the time, but I have to thank you for the time you put into your website. It has proved to be an invaluable tool in my current project. Im not sure I could have finished my motor swap without it.

I agree.....Thanks!!!

but to keep the topic going, I had a MSD blaster coil about 4 years ago and it died in just over a year. Went back to stock and no probs.
