ignition wires.

I was wondering if the 2nd gen ignition wires are considerably longer than the GSL-SE wires. I am installing the 2Gen DFIS on an SE, and with the location of the coil, I will need longer wires.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for your response. Where do you have the 2Gen coil mounted?

Thanks for the pic. Unfortunately, this set-up doesn't work with A/C. The lines are in the way.

keep us updated on what you decide to do. you should not have any problems clearing your a/c line as FirebirdSlayer showed. if in doubt you can use the FC wires.

Ok guys, thanks. As soon as I get the wires and hook it up, I'll let you know how it went.
