I have MSD truck style wires, but as you can see in the pictures, they are just way too long and have a bunch of unnecessary slack. This extra slacks makes it very tough to keep them away from the turbo hot parts. I've seen LS3 style plugs that have basically two 45 boots on them and they seem to be a nice straight shot to the plugs. Anyone use these style?

Here are my current wires. They hit the rear heat shield and I've have to zip tie one over to the bracket to keep it from resting on the downpipe







Here are the types of wires I'm referring to when I say "LS car style"

 

No, they will not reach and be short by quite a bit

 

You know this with 100% certainty?

I guess I don't see why these wires won't work on a truck??

 

Here is a Truck wire (red) vs a LS1 length. Keep in mind I have the coils mounted on the cover and the zr1 covers mount the coil lower so I can run the LS1 length. They won’t fit my other motor with truck coils.

 

I run the car length wires but I have the round coils with the heat sinks.

 

I searched a bunch before I made this thread, and also found a thread made by Choda back in the day about plug wires. Great visual here

 

I ordered some car style wires, I will update the thread with results

 

I highly recommend getting the ceramic boot wires. They handle the heat much much better than the rubber ones. Turbos melt everything that touches the pipes. Been there done that.

 

Looking at that style of plug, Accel 9070c seems to be what works on these trucks and some summit racing reviews specially mention NBS trucks, some with turbos. Any input on that plug wire?

I know accel made a set I installed for a guy, was pretty impressed with the ceramic boot. Trust me ive spent hundreds on plug wires keeping them melting, keep them away from the hot pipes, no amount of wrap or sleeve will save them if they are touching. Youll be chasing misfires until you are blue in the face.
