I'd be very interested to hear if any of these other kits like the two posted above and the MSD custom option provide any stereo feedback. Using the LS1 GM kit probably would not.

I got the MSD 31489 wires from Teague for my 502s. About $90 a set.

Not to be a jerk but I am aware that there are alternatives out there for 502 and 454 motors but the EFI 496 mag ho motors are a whole different story I did a lot of homework on this and the best solution I could come up with is the MSD wires.

As far as stereo feedback I did ask about that and they said that it should not be a issue at all. Only time will tell.

I remember cutting and installing Accell wires (big fancy 8.8mm yellow ones) for my Trans Am, in a military base parking lot some 20 years ago. I had a fancy stereo (for the day) at that time as well, and I had a ton of feedback. It's probably much different nowadays with electronic ignitions; but the memory still remains.

I haven't been keeping up with the general forums, but Raylar used to have lots of sets of the 496 plug wires that were "take-offs" from the packages he made. Could probably search on here to see if he is still around. I think he was somewhere under $100 for a brand new set of Merc wires for the 496s'.

I emailed Raylar yesterday and never got a response. When I was searching this problem out I saw his name mentioned a lot regarding the plug wire problem and at one point he said that he no longer had any take off wires..?

Craptastic....sorry, stand corrected, I didn't see the 496 part. the vette plugs work for 502s.

The plug wires that I ordered from Summit Racing worked perfectly.!! Way cheaper than Mercs and they all fit no problem. I had to cut all of them down and I used the 90 degree boots instead of the long straight boots. Big money saver!!
