    MSD's and headers...

    i got my long tubes for the engine i am building and i also got a set of MSD's. i put the headers on the engine to get the boxes out of the garage and was checking the clearance of the wires and headers and well...the wires are hitting the headers. any one else have/had this problem?

    I have that same problem, But i have stock wires and plugs. I'm not sure who makes them, but you can get a set of "L" boots for your spark plugs, and that will solve the problem. Thats what i'm going to do once i have sometime to order them.

    I have the same problem as well. But when I had the v6 and the shorties on, I bought some msd heat covers that were red as well, and they work good.

    Yeah, we all have the same issues... You can bend them like Larry and Red said--or since they already have a slight bend to them, just rotate them slightly so they don't touch...
