I have MSD and found them prone to arcing, I "gooped" (technical term) dielectric grease inside and out of the plug boots and cured the problem. The wire are a snug fit in the stock wire holders.

I think he's asking whether the Magnecor's fit inside the stock heat shields at the plug.
I've never used Magnecor's, so I couldn't tell you.
I have blue 10.5mm Taylor 409 wires, and they're great. A little on the expensive side and probably overkill, but I wanted fat blue ones to match the color scheme of my 30th. And yes, they fit inside the factory heat shields at the plug.

I chose the Taylor Sprio-Pro 8mm universal wires. I cut them to the length I wanted and routed them up near the valve covers with the B&M center bolt wire looms.
I'd hate to be the one to route the wires back through the factory wire looms...yuck! I did it once and it took forever!
If you plan on or already have headers...be sure to get the heat sleeves as well.

Good luck, BadAss30th
That Is What I Meant!The Stock Wires Fit Snug In The Heat Shield Tubes At The Spark Plugs.Do Any Aftermarket One's Fit The Same Way???I Already Know That The MSD Don't,Since I Have Them.My Concern Is Them Hitting My Headers If They Can Move In The Tubes When You Are Getting On The Car.

I'm not using the heat shields. Not sure where I originally found the information but I was lead to believe the Magnecor boot and wires were able to hande the heat.

Guys, I'm all about doing things one time....
I highly recommend...no matter what headers you have....to get the heat shields. I have run my car after my FLP Long Tubes and burnt 3 MSD Super Conductor Wires....that would explain the roughness in the motor.
Do yourselves a favor and get heatshields on when you do this work...why not pay 20-40 for a little more insurance after all that work and time??
