Valve cover spacers
Is there anyone here using valve cover spacers to clear the aftermarket rockers and if so did you have to get longer spark plug wires?
Where do you buy longer spark plug wires?
Thanks

Never mind, I figured it out...just use truck or suv coil wires, they are a little longer...and can be gotten at the local dealer.

Are they the same lenght as the OEM wires? My stock wires fit, but close with the kool socks I have on them, infact the one on #4 cylinder in against the oil stick tube and very close to the header. So I may have to go to a longer set.

I have Jesel's and hogged my covers out and they clear, but I also bought 1/2" spacers and tried to use them, but the alternator got in the way. On my car I need to reposition the alternator. What are you guys that are using 1/2" spacers doing for this, or do you not have interference with the alternator? Hope this isn't looked at as a hijack, just pointing out the problem I had with my car.

I had .050" shims under the mounting bars to get a good wipe on the valve tip and the rockers hit the valve cover, even with some serious hogging. I had to go with .025" shims and it clears, but not by much, and my wipe is just slightly wider.
