Shorty spak plug socket......
This came today from fleabay. I hope it will help me with the infamous #8 plug. Maybe a couple others too! Just waiting on back ordered Taylor wires now.

I need one too.
Oh...and forget the back-ordered Taylor wires.
Do a search on Ebay for "Magnecor LTx" (or whatever) and get the 8 or 8.5 mm wires (8.5 will fit in the looms)...these wires are made to stand up to heat, are made for sensitive electronics (ECM/PCM), and are made to deliver 100% of coil spark.
I got mine for $108 on the Bay, in stock, two coil wires to ensure which opti....and my dyno-tuner couldnt match the price but states that many brands of wires are hit and miss on opti's/LT1's.
Monday I ordered wires and an opti....both are here, yesterday I ordered "E" spark plugs from summit and will be here tomorrow.
I gotta pick up water pump gaskets and will do a total ignition upgrade running the MSD blaster coil.
Thanks for the socket idea.

To late, already paid for. PITA to cancel now anyway. Car is stock and these Taylors are supposed to be good enough for stock. If they don't work out I'll keep those in mind. Thanks!
