Thanks

 

That's tight work Dan, :beer

 

I was thinking of going wi fi wireless. But I couldn't find the app for that.:idea2::idea2:

 

here is how I routed the wires for my car. they are Taylor 10.5 mm wires

 

Dang this was an old thread
How time flies.

 

Hide all wires

 

Very clean and simple .. definitely looks better without a fuel line mixing it up

 

WiFi is the way you want to go...

 

Wow BadBrad, that looks awesome!

Any pictures of the passenger side? I'm about to put the MSD 8.8 wires on my 400.

 

I saw a bunch of you guys ask if you can run 8, or 8.5 with the stock retainers. Yes, if you use a drill bit to very slightly open them up. I've done it to 50 year old retainers, so I'm sure new retainers would hope fully be more pliable. My "old" retainers have never broken. USA!!!

I use Taylor wires

Stock, re-cutting the wires to length helps the most on any installation. I do it on all my cars.

 

So does the factory rear loom clip have 2 or 3 holes? Obviously the front has 4, but I can't tell from the pics in this thread how many the rear has. I would assume the rear would have only 2 but I have been looking to buy a full set and the one's I have found are a kit with 2- 4 hole and 2- 3 hole looms.
