Getting ready to do close to the same thing tomorrow w/ 8.5 mm wires. I am going to try to dremmel the looms I have to fit, but if it doesn't work out, I will order some from Summit. Good luck

I'm using Made For You looms for the MSD 8.5mms on my IROC with headers.

You will likely need to Dremel them slightly for a good fit, but no big deal as there is plenty of material.

This weekend must be tune up day. I am replacing my plugs and wires as well. I got a set of R&M wire dividers to install on my 93 with the MSD 8.5mm wires. I had the red anodized finish replaced with a white powder coat. I want them to stand out and the red wires should look really good in them! :smash:

I used MSD looms from autozone. They don't attach to the engine directly. I just loomed them over the valve covers and dropped them down to each plug. $9
