I zip tie the back 2 plugs at the top to each other, then run a zip tie through that to the truck. works good so far. I've thought about getting some boots for the plug wires. I think someone on here ordered a couple long plug wires from MSD or magnecore, not sure who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnblwzd Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I modified a 2 plug wire retainer bracket that I had laying around from something else and attached it to a stud on the valve cover and angled it down, which kept the wires from touching the pipes and worked for a while. The wires eventually got too hot though and started missing at high RPM. Then I added a pair of those white heat socks, in addition with the retainer, and haven't had a problem since (about 6 months I think). I can take a couple pics later if you want. This is the one thing I don't like about the Dynas. Someone told me they changed the design of that upward #3 pipe on the driver's side because of this problem, so it looks like the passenger side, but I guess not.

BLUEBYUSS Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I got Dynatechs on my '04 Denali and my '03 SS. MSD superconductors on both and I had to zip tie the ones up on my LQ4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a link to them? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A friend had them left over from something, they were just big enough to get the wires into them. Nothing fancy, but it works.
