Taylor Wires:

[Captain D]

Hello all,

Curious about these Taylor wires to ask please:

Do these 'snap' into place, other than their extended length,  any pros vs cons, such as snug fittings and such? I've ran FireCores and certainly a quality / thicker wire. But, didn't know if they're overkill for my application as I'm not building anything for the strip, etc. - just a cruiser, but I prefer the lower resistance, especially running MSD, EFI, & electronic ignition.  And, their ohms resistance seems essentially the same to FireCore.

Thanks for any feedback / input.

As a personal preference, I never use made-to-length pre-terminated wires, they restrict the routing. I prefer to choose the length and install the distributor ends myself.

are you using stock wire retainers and routing? Are you using headers? Those particular wires seem a decent fit, especially in my case of a 440 with TTI headers.

I made my own using 6 90 degree spark plug boots and 2 45 degree spark plug boots.  My car isn't really that nice, but making your own goes a long way to making the engine look good, especially if you arent 100% stock

Consider the diameter, stock wires are kinda skinny. (If using factory loom keepers.)

Thank you gents for the responses,  much appreciated.  As much as I would love to customize my own, I probably wouldn't on this job.

As for my headers, I have shorty headers on my 383. Yeah, I lose some horsepower compared with the full headers,  but with mine being just a cruiser it's subtle + I can reach the starter so much easier now, 😉. It's a mini starter too so between that and the shorty headers, I have extra room to maneuver under there and helps to keep that starter cooler, as well.

Anyhow, was just curious if those Taylor wires snap into place and hold well (I know that FireCores do, but I would imagine that the Taylor's do too). Thanks again for the chats....
