914World.com _ 914World Garage _ silly msd spark plug wire ? 8.5mm super
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 14 2005, 11:57 AM
the local down the street parts house can get a set here by 1. book shows no direct application for the 914. are you guys using a predone set from a different application? the kit they list out of the msd book is #3104, i have to cut it and do the ends. need some quick info. thanks guys.

another reason why I didn't go with the MSD stuff...special plug wires, what a PITA.......

aircooled.net has the huge magnecore wires in a type 4 app.
mallory baby... no silly plug wires 
BTW, what coil are you running?

blaster. so the mallory makes a direct application? i hate "making" plug wires. i'm sure putting m.c. fi on a 914 is an easier task mike.

Sure, sure....you wanted an excuse to write:
"Mueller's Build-your-own-CD-ignition" and "How to mill plug wires out of billet"

i think you answered your own question
it seem the best choice is to make your own set....there might be another 4 cylinder or 8 cylinder application that works, but if it was that easy, they'd list it i would think....can you just go down to the store and open a few packages up...compare and measure.....

I'm pretty sure he cannot use the Magnacore wires...MSD distributors have to use a specific style wire.....

oh. you must have called aircooled.net....
hey john at aircooled

at aircooled.net a set of wires is pictured. Supermag with "AURORA" printed on them. tried a futile search with 0 results. anybody familiar with the manufacturer? i tried to call the outfit you recommended aaron. then i remembered YOU had a smooth transaction with the same firm, right? was that just a ploy to avoid the tire hold down 
? i've looked around locally, every place wants to sell me a set with 8 wires.

i can't believe these companys stay in business. just tried aircooled, ring, ring... i can't imagine the email return is any faster. TRY to call mr gasket, parent to mallory, 3 menu changes, 3 different phone #s, none toll free, and a 20 minute wait time. f me to tears.

aircooled is not bad at all....aaron just had a bad experiance with them....I've never had an issue dealing with John.....
Posted by: Aaron Cox Apr 15 2005, 12:26 PM
kevin, im a retard.... i have the supermag aurora wires....
and yes. they have no cutomer service and are very rude. 
Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 15 2005, 12:36 PM
wow the same as i'm getting. we'll be twins except i'm older, better looking, and bitter. i'm just not used to a business not having a message if you call after hours. the guy was pretty helpful. item will ship today. i went next day with USPS. we'll see.

twins eh? we shall see....
here was my scenario.... "youll have it at your door in a week. everything is in stock and will ship in a day or two..blah blah"
2.5 weeks later i call "hey, wheres my order?"
"what did you order?" they say
"plug wires, mallory diz..."
"what mallory?"
"unilite"
"oh, we are out of those....."
"well... wtf- you told me you had them!"
"uh...."
and then they wont sell me stuff because i cancelled the dizzy order, and then a dizzy shows up after i sourced it elsewhere.....
and i ate shipping both ways.....
yes. im bitter too kevin. maybe we are twins....
