plug wires for detail questions

Searched and saw it recommended to use 30 gauge wire from radio shack, but how to attach to distrib/engine? Any tips??
Thanks.

You will need to buy a pin-vise and small drill so you can drill holes in the heads/dist.
Or you can buy pre-wired ones already done.

Also you will need super glue to atach the cables. It is a good idea to subscribe to recieve a speed shop catalog like summit or Jegs to have reference where the cables go.

Also it make the wiring more realistic if you follow the firing order of the particular engine you are building.

If using the Radio Shack 30ga wire use about a number 77 drill for the holes. Use a pin in the pin-vise to center mark each hole.

I used some wiring from somekind of electrnic board

my super ghetto way: drill 1 big hole in distributer, glue 8 wires (all 8 wires cover the hole) [i mostly wire v8's anway] and then tuck the wire behind the exhaust header

What about the ninth wire?
There is a wire to the coil too.....

Thanks! I'll get a pin vise then and some bits.

I was about to say the same thing... :redface:

The Camaro in the pic has HEI ignition and therefore only has 8 wires. So he's excused, for now. Don't show us a non-GM V8 without a coil wire. :wink:

I use wire that i bought at a arts/craft store made in a variety of colors. I get 40 yards for $2.00 USD.
