Will this hurt my engine?
I have ran out of time to replace the wires on my LT1. I tried doing all this before I leave for the beach.
My little brother has been sick so I've had to stay home watching him for the past 2 days.
I'm leaving for the beach friday morning.
So I'm thinking just replace the passenger side wires and wait to change the drivers side when I get back from the drive down to South Carolina.
From northern va, to South Carolina its going to be about 300-400 miles(so 800 miles total)
The driver side would have the stock ac delco wires, and the passenger side would have Taylor Spiro Pro's.
The wires are fine, not missing or anything, its just they are getting a little old. Resistance isn't what it once was, but still "Good".
Should i just leave stock wires in, and replace both side when i get back?

wont hurt but it will be silly :smash:
Its so tempting. The drivers side is a horror that I'm going to have to find a nice day alone to work on it.

I wouldnt worry about plugs themselves, but the wires, eehhhhh. That would bother me, but i dont really think it'll hurt.

I would really rather have them finished be for I left. Don't think it will hurt anything. Here's an idea - why not take them with you and finish at the beach? :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:
