I can cut a set of wire in 30 minutes. It's all about having the right tools. That and I've custom cut more wires than you can shake a stick at.

i can cut them too in 30 minutes that does not mean they will be loomed and ran right, i like to make sure they are all ran nice and tight to the valve covers and done right and im sorry it takes alot more time then 30 minutes, but yea if you want to hack it up and just throw a set of wires on your car by all means have at it but then whats the point just go buy some autozone wires

I guess my point is that the Motorsport 9mm wires aren't a perfect fit for a 302 anyway. When everyone of the wires is too long anyway, why get all bent out of shape over the coil wire, and hack it down. You also are suggesting that he go out and find another lead end, which if you don't have a performance shop nearby can mean another shipping charge. The kit is set up with the coil wire long enough for 2 applications, so just install it the way it is intended to be installed.

And yes, in most circumstances I can cut and install a full set of wires that are loomed correctly in 30 minutes. In the long long ago, there weren't too many options for good quality properly cut wires, especially for SNs, and we had to do this everytime we changed wires. Believe me, I've done it many many times. Now I just go buy a set of Accel 8.8 300+ wires over the counter at the Autoparts store which are cut for an SN 302. Each wire is the correct length, and it comes with the correct coil wire. It's $2 more than the kit you cut yourself, so why spend 30 minutes doing it?
