Can anyone tell me if these will work with my 3800sc if I place the coil pack on the firewall right near its original location on the engine?
I saw in another tread where someone made a quick bracket to mount the coil pack on the firewall and it looked good and didnt interfere with anything.
This is what I'm asking about

Forget it. I need black or blue wires for my 3800sc to match the color of the motor. Nothing is red so these will look out of place.

Taylor makes good wires. Kind of 'iffy' to buy used plug wires sight unseen.
If you are on a budget, Summit has good universal sets for under $40.

If you haven't done anything to mount them yet, and if you have the same tensioner/dogbone bracket as I do (Fierorog/fieroflyer design) you can mount them next to the SC snout (sorry about the messy bay, everything's coming back out next winter when I cam it, and it'll be a lot better looking)

If I place my coil pack on the firewall right next to the 3800 stock location can I use OEM 3800 wires from rock auto ? Also I thought I saw where someone just pivoted the coil pack in its original location over the supercharger pulley and it didnt interfere with the decklid or torsion bars. Can someone verify/ link this info?

My coil pack is mounted on the firewall near the stock L67 (3800) location. I'm using ZZP wires and have plenty of room to run them.



This was in my prior Fiero, I've yet to mount them in the new one.
