I went through the same thing and after plenty of research I purchased the MSD 8.5 super conductor wire and must say these thing are a perfect fit I would recommend them to all. The car had the fms 9 and they are pretty long while these are custom to fit just right.
The MSDs fit and look great, especially with their dist. cap. Took a while to figure it out going from the overly long FMS wires, since the MSDs are unnumbered. It would be a piece of cake coming from stock, I'll bet.
I've got the FMS 9's I agree they are long I had the taylors nice exact fit but they where on the car when I bought it so I didn't know how long they where there I figured it best to just replace em when I did the tune up.
I've read a number of posts where the MSD's crapped out after 6 months causing the owners no end of grief. (the wires are only 6 months old...how could they be bad?)
I had the MSD's they fit good but i dont like the straight boots on the plug side. Makes them a bitch to get to click on in the tight spots. I have the FMS ones now which i like accept for the super longness, and the coil wire being for a fox body. I think im going JBA or Performance distributors next.
I have the FMS ones and only problem I have had was when 2 sat up against my header I had 2 replacement ones that I just stuck on. They are WAY to long. Livewires are the best, but I'm probably going to go with MSD or Taylor next
