Spark Plug Wires for LS1 coils

Does anyone have a part # / mfgr / place to purchase some spark plug wires for a 13b / MSD LS1 coil ignition setup? I've found places that make up custom cables, but I'm not 100% sure which ends I need. I figured some of you guys would have done this before so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Greg

The LS1 coil has a unique end. MSD sells ends but it seems no one likes to stock them. I called MSD when I needed them and they sent me several free of charge. Thought that was awfully cool of them.

You can do this!



You use the 90 degree boots with pins and all you need to do is just bend the round end to fit the metal stub in the coil neck. Works perfectly and those are universal Accel cables, you buy a V8 kit and you get enough parts to do a 2 sets.

How long are the suburban wires?

All the same length?

BTW I have a buell, and newer harley coils use the same plug wire with an auto style (vice motorcycle style) spark plug end, and the rear one is about exactly the right length.

Nope,

All different lengths, I've never measured it but I do have my coils where the "cruise control" would be.

I can post pics later if you'd like.

I just measured using string, called Magnecor and had them make me some. It was $145 for my 20B/LS7 setup which of course has more wires.
