Default New spark plug wires

[align=left]I have always had my wires laying over the valve covers. I wanted to do something different to make the engine compartment look neater. I seen these at Summit and decided to give it a try. Right out of the package they would not work. I imagine they would work on a stock dimension valve cover. I knew mine were taller being the fabricated aluminum style, but I didn't think about them being larger around the outside diameter when I ordered these wire loom brackets. I was kinda bummed and didn't think I could use them when it came to me, I can make an extension. Here are the pics and the finished product. It was a royal pain in the ars getting the wires in the brackets and onto the plugs to say the least. I am pretty mechanical but it took me about 3 hours to mount these and make up the wires. There is absolutely no room to work with between the headers and the shock towers.

Also, I received my 2 1/2" weiand pulley from Summit yesterday. Now I have 6-7 lbs of boost instead of 3 lbs. I put my 74 primary jets back in because the plugs are a little too light for me. I like mine rust colored. When you are using a supercharger you difinately don't want to run lean.

Thanks UBY, I might have to make more videos with this new pulley. If I can sneak away today I'll do just that.
