Default Spark Plug wire routing

Well I ordered some fancy red anodized wire looms for my valve cover and some red spark plug wires and neither would work with the stupid air tubes so here was my solution. Just for posterity sake I got a set of MSD street wires that are cut to fit with straight plug boots like a big block has. I did this too keep everything away from the air tubes and out of the way. I think it looks decent. Not as good as my fancy stuff would have but someday when I swap to LT1 manifolds or headers then ill snag them off the shelf and make it look really good. I did manage to find out that the hypertech coil does fit under the plenum cover but just for GP I added a flat plastic washer under each of the bolts between the cover and the plenum just for good measure. Anyway here are a few pics. Hope you like them. their not very fancy like most everyone elses.

Terry J. I have a set of MSD wires just like yours. Good wires but are a tad too long. Installed them 3 years ago and hooked them up to some E3 plugs.

Cool!!. Mine were cut to fit so I made them the lengths I needed. I like that fuel pressure gauge. I need one of them.

Accel from Amazon. About $60. Loosen the gas cap, let car sit 24 hours. Push in valve and if no gas comes out, remove valve with very small screw driver. Put on some Teflon tape and screw on pressure gauge. Check for leaks quickly.

Cool. Thanks. My last TPI setup that I had I added a NOS setup and that's where I tapped into the fuel system. I added an inline pressure gauge to the line going to the fuel solenoid. Since im not planning on doing that I think this would be a good option.
