I wanted to buy the msd cap, rotor and wiers kit for my stock distributor and the only thing holding me back is that it looks like, in the picture of the wires, that the ignition coil wire is way to short compared to stock. Does anyone have the msd wires? and are they long enough?

MSD, Taylor, Crane, etc. all make universal spark plug wire kits. The only thing you need to specify is color, boot type, etc. I recommend assembling your own wires from a universal kit because then you are guaranteed that everything is going to fit and all the wires are the proper length you need.

The short coil wire is for 94-95's (the coil is mounted next to the dizzy). There should be a long coil wire in your kit too.

I have MSD SC's on the 94 and they're a bit short for my tastes. The wires have to go over the VC's, which I dont like.

Good luck.
