I've read a bunch of posts on plug wires and still have the same question:

Does anybody make a set of plug wires for our cars that are pre-cut to the correct length for each wire and actually fit right using the factory wire looms?

Thanks for any advice.

MSD super conductor are pretty well cut, or you could always make your own.

To fit factory looms you need factory wires.

Really? The superconductors? I thought factory wires were only around 7mm. Did you drill them? The only reason I ask is that I never found a set that fit...including MSD

yeah, the factory looms will allow for fatter wires, I was running FMS 9mm wires that just, just barely squeezd in them, it was a major PITA. I'm running the MSD SC's now, and all of the wires are so damn short, there is no room for slack whatsoever, so I removed the looms that are on the valve cover studs since they are no longer of any use. I had a hard time getting the wires to reach to each plug, they only seem to go on one way. I'm using the FMS wire looms on them now though to keep them evenly spaced from the dizzy, they were I think $7 for the pack of 4. I recommend them.

Edit: BTW the FMS wires are REALLY long, like, ridiculously long. But other than that, they're good wires.

Screw the looms.

My Livewires are the sh***

So what if they don't fit the looms, just go to a parts store and buy some new one's for $2.00

My Livewires are the best wires I have ever had.

Taylor 8.2s fit well on the two Mustangs I've used them with.

You might try getting ahold of our old friend Tim (18 Mustangs is his username IIRC). I believe he ran AFM's custom Motorsport 94-95 wires and said they fit great.

Regarding other wires, I probably route my stuff different than most folks but I think the SC's fit kinda crappy. They're too short.

You want custom wire looms? then get some tie straps and make your own. Use one tie strap to bring them close together (not bunch them up) then use tie straps to separate each wire. Viola custom wire looms for under $5.......

The Taylor 8mm Spiro Pro wires that I have were all the correct length and fitted like a glove.

Livewires fit very well if you buy the correct ones. One set is for equal length shorty headers and the other set is for stock, unequal length or long tube headers. I just installed the wires along with Screamin' Demon Coil, 5.0 Dyna-Mod,and 5.0 Cap and Rotor yesterday and have noticed the engine runs smoother with better throttle response. I also bought the looms for these wires as they are 10mm. Squeezing any large wire into a standard loom is a great way to break wire inside the case.

i currently run livewires that fit great---i also have thier billet looms.

i replaced the steeda wires--which also fit great and i still keep around cuz my timing light won't fit around the livewires.

i had msd sc's for all of an afternoon and thought they fit like ass. since that an a early failure of a pro billet dizzy i have become anti-msd.

I just put on some Ford Racing wires and used some Moroso wire looms. They look good, fit good, and didn't break the bank.
