    Question?

    How important is it to keep the wires isolated. I understand it may be important to keep wires seperated for cylinders on either side of the firing one, (does this make sense)?

    I have finally dumped the dual point system for the norwood system, MSD6AL and high output coil. I am attempting to install MSD's 8mm wire set and would like it to perform well and look clean.

    The best i have seen to date is Spasso's "ho sled".

    Any advice out there?

    tired,
    chris

    I have read that having the wires neat and paralell is not a good idea. I have no first hand knowledge of problems due to this; if your car is running fine than I wouldn't worry about it, but if you're having problems, take a look at your running engine in the dark and look for electrical discharges around the wires.

    Bundling them together neat & parallel isn't a good idea, however keeping them separated as shown in the picture, & alternating the cylinders should be fine.

    Be sure you keep any sensor wires away from, or at 90 degrees to the high tension wires.
