Sparks wire & long tube headers

[camaro_nos]

Hi
I am confused about the appropriate MSD spark plug wires for a 2010 Camaro with long tube headers ?

What's to be confused about?? You order the ones for 2010-2015 Camaro, either the SS or the V6 engine.. Most of us use Taylor wires..

Between long or short wires

Here are the Taylor wires. And the MSD'S you'd use..

I use the 'truck' race wires from Taylor's; you can angle em so they dont touch the headers. I do have higher valve covers to clear the rockers so I needed em. Regular length ones will fit.

Honestly, stock OEM are going to be just as good and unless you have odd headers, clear everything just fine. Unless you just want a pretty color are have a massive build, or extra tall valve covers. I run stocks with Stainless Power headers. No issues.

Same setup as SS_Dave. I have one heat sleeve on cylinder #1 where that plug wire gets close to the header.

I use stock wires with ARH long tubes with no issues. When it comes to wires, don't over think it.

Headers Speed Engineering 17/8 So I think I'll stick with the stock wires and insulate them.
Thanks

This is what I did too. I found some different colored ones on Amazon, but were the same specs as the factory AC Delco spark plug wires. The part number was 9478XX (XX = color code?).

I ended up getting AC Delco 9478MM, which were the same as the factory black AC Delco spark plug wires, but just red-colored. They're 7mm thick wires, I believe, but I run heat-resistant spark plug boots/sheathes over the wires, for safety anyways. I also re-used the metal heat shields on the bottoms of the stock spark plug wires, although you can get replacement ones if needed. Some other aftermarket plug wires don't use them.

The only time I ever had to run weird angle spark plug wires, was when I had JBA shorty headers, as well as some American Racing shorty headers. The only shorty header I liked, if anyone even cares, were the BBK 1-3/4" shorty headers. I ran the spark plug wires like normal, and the only other clearance issue, was that I couldn't run long bolts the same orientation as the factory headers and downpipes/cats.

Yes, I eventually went to long tube headers; and no one should ever have plug wire issues there, since there's usually so much clearance with long tubes. If anything, it's more of an issue to be careful not to chip the ends of the spark plugs, while they're left in the engine while installing new headers.
