msd 8.5mm wires

[BOOSTEDSUPRA]

since i cant find the exact answer im looking for in any other tread, here we go.

i just got mine in the mail. part number 32629. and upon inspecting them, they look kinda short.....am i just imagining things? or are these the wrong choice for my car with irridium plugs? ::dunce::

Did you compare them to the stock 7m wires? And by that i mean measure one and the OEM


Or do you mean short that they don't sit right on the spark plugs?

The iridium plugs, you by chance did not use the MKIV spark plug did you?

whats up figster, on the plugs... off the top my head i dont remember part number. i got the number off the sticky on the site here. the jis length.

on the wires, im at work, and took them outta box and just my memory, where they sit on the spark plug (i should have clarafied that in the first place, sorry) they look short. idk, ima pickin up my stuff from poweder coat tonight, should be done like i was told they would be, and i will look first thing when i get home and compare and post.

they are the right wires. just while at work, they looked very short like they were not going to reach the plugs. guess i waisted a thread, lol.

lol. Sometimes the MSD wires fit a bit loose at the coils/dist., so be sure you're getting a good contact at the coils. I had to open the contacts up a bit on my n/a to make them fit the dist. right.

Used to have the MSD's. after about a year, the plastic/resin boots began to get brittle and disintegrate.

Ave the msds on my car and they are just a bit of a pain to get them to stay on at the coil packs, but a Lil redneck ingenuity and problem solved

Just changed my wires today. Except I got NGK's. I thought they were going to be short too. haha. Plugs and wires are such a pain on these cars. I did not put the plug holders on the coil pack because they were all broken. But I'm afraid that they might back out.

i havent gotten all my stuff back yet!! :: angry :: so i havent put them on yet. but i dont like the sound of the quality of the msd's!!!! i hope i do not have any problems. for the last 5 years i have had bosch wires from manny moe and crack with the bosch plus 4 in it. never had any problems. bout... idk, 30k on them. well, see. i better have the rest of my stuff today, 2 weeks is lazy and pissin me off.

i will update tonight.

My MSD 8.5mm work just fine.
When I got my set, there was one that has the plug connector end glued to high on the wire and didn't allow it to seal to the 3rd galley cover. I contacted MSD and got just the replacement one, #4 or #5 don't remember.
Been working just fine ever since.

edit: and #32629 was the set I got too. and i don't use the holders either.

I went with NGK myself, and they were kinda short also. They still clipped onto the plugs good though.

 

[BOOSTEDSUPRA]

yea, mine are a tad snugger than the bosch ones that were on there. but i think the bosch's were kinda a "universial" fitment. idk. but i love the msd's

I agree I do love my msd's I was simply stating on the coil pack plug end it was ghats to get them to stay
