Why did you run the wires back around the front of the motor instead of straight over the side?

I read that you have another set of wires to go on later? What wires did you go with? I just ordered my Delteq without wires because I am mounting it in a different location and will cut to fit my own wires. I assume the coils accept HEI boots and am looking for wire recommendations.

Hi this car had stock exhaust manifolds. You can not drop them down the side becasue the wires will get burnt.. With f-bodys with stock manifolds you have to run the wires under the manifolds

Thx Jim

Hi were you locating the unit? (Also did you buy from me?)


I have pre-made 8mm (plain black) kits for the vettes if you mount it on the valve cover.

Why go through all the trouble to cut and fit your wires when we can do it for you … I can make any length wire you want in 7, 8 or 9mm (I have 10mm but it's a pure racing wires with a copper core not good for daily use) these wires come in many different colors also and come with a life time warrant from cracking arching etc also you get a 1200 degree protective sleeve on the whole wire.

Call or email me for prices.

I am locating it dead center behind the intake. I was steered to HP Works (I bet due to my location SE VA) by Delteq.

Because it is hard for you to accurately cut to fit wires to clear a 5" down pipe next to the valve cover.
