Accel Extreme 9000 wires and autolite 104s (for spray, your plugs would be different)

Worked perfectly.

Loadre, I noticed a Mallory decal under your hood, do you have a Mallory ignition? If you do how is it working for you? Would you recommend it?? Thanx !!

I have the Mallory Hyfire VI CD (part #685) ignition box. Got it for the nitrous since it has a built in rev-limiter, window switch, and timing retard. It was confusing to wire up at first but all you have to do is buy a $30 connector and it plugs right in. You should see a pic or two of it if you scroll down on my cardomain site. It runs right about $220 and has worked flawlessly. I would recommend to anyone, ESPECIALLY if you plan to upgrade to nitrous.

I have used the Accel 9000s and the stock type ACs in my stroker for 8 years with no issues...I do change plugs/wires every 2 years as scheduled maintenance...You may want to check out Thunderracing for their Taylor/Made-for-you over the valve covers wire & loom combo...$99.00 with a crimper...seems like a great idea. You know how muck of a pain it is to route the wires from underneath...I'm gonna check it out myself...I've seen other threads where people love the kit...

10.4mm ! Dont go above 8.5mm. 10.4mm is entirely too big.

Earlier last year-MSDs and NGK TR55s.
Late last year-Taylors and AC Delcos.

Both are excellent setups.

NGK tr6's if you're running N2O...tr55's if not...

As far as wires go, stock replacement is fine...

I second that.


Also routing your wires from underneath is time consuming. when you think you are done you find one or two wires are not where they are supposed to be (passenger side). I've a 95 twin cat and had to remove the Y pipe. Pain in the rear fer sure.
