What color are the covers? The GM red wires are fine, your stock wires are also fine. They are so short, that changing them, unless they are broken, is a waste of money IMHO

I opinion of MSD is they are JUNK. You can't tell if the snap on or not the boots on mine near the plugs looked like a bomb went off and left a crater. My stock wires had 50,000 miles and were great. I got some better wires from LGM which are nice. Anything but MSD IMHO

js1999: Do yourself a favor and remove the coil bracket (with coils still installed in it) on the driver's side. Just a few bolts and one central plug for the electrical connection (of course plug wires too) and it's off. You will be veeery grateful for the additional room you'll have on #7.
You can thank me later!

I haven't changed the wires on the Vette but I've had the MSD Superconductors on my Av for almost three years now and they have been great. You can hardly tell the 5.3 is idling...it's much smoother than the 5.7.
