Hey everyone, I know it's been awhile since I've been around. I graduated, moved out of Ohio and left the vast majority of my stuff in storage (including tools and tires). Since then I've been stuck in Alabama trying to find an aviation job in this crap-shoot of an economy and the car has generally been far from the front of my mind. I was originally expecting the job to happen sooner rather than later, leaving my absence a short hiatus instead of a year long leave, but time has flown on instead. That, and money is always a requirement for working on the ride. Anyway, I'll probably be around quite a bit more often now, even if I have nothing significant to contribute (which is pretty much par for the course)!

That all being said, I was changing plugs tonight and had one plug wire have a come-apart when I tried to separate it from the nipple on the spark plug. Apparently they were rather attached and couldn't bear to live without each other. I now find myself one plug wire short, 7 spare wires in storage in Ohio (with the key here in Alabama, otherwise I'd bribe Trackbird to raid my storage shed), and a drive from Alabama to Houston coming up this Friday or Saturday. I'd rather not purchase another friggin set of 8 wires so I figured I'd see if anyone around here had a spare LS1 plug wire they'd be willing to part with on a rapid basis. Naturally, I'll take care of all the expenses to ship the wire and just let me know what you want for it. (Edit: Shipping is to Zip 35801)

This little dilemma, by the way, is what snapped FRRAX back into my brain and inspired my return!

If someone here has some, that'd be best. But, you could always try calling a shop like Thunder and asking them. I know that they just replaced all 8 of mine (they were cooked), and I have no idea what they did with the old ones. Heck, call the local shops, too - you might get lucky.

I have one from an LT1. You could coil it up like a lasso ...

I just wound up getting back from the store and I am now the proud (?) owner of a set of Taylor wires. Worst comes to worst, they'll get the job done for awhile until I can get to my spares in Ohio. I appreciate the thoughts, but after calling around to shops and junk yards this morning with no luck I just decided to bite the bullet.

And thanks Mitch!
