v6 owner please help Reply #3 – September 19, 2009, 07:42:11 AM Do some cut to fits. They seem intimidating, but it's an easy job. It makes for a much cleaner install. Quote Selected
v6 owner please help Reply #4 – September 19, 2009, 02:37:18 PM the reason i needed the lengths were i removed all my wires from the distributor and put a performance distributor. but i am just trying to make sure i put the right length wire in the right spot. Quote Selected

v6 owner please help Reply #10 – September 23, 2009, 01:18:09 AM check the firing order...It has coil packs in the picture, but if you just bring the numbers into the 5.0 one and kill the last two, it will be right. Quote Selected
