This is definitely something that has been bugging me. I had that wire placement from before I relocated the alternator and I was going to mount the coils to the strut tower. The trigger wires enter the engine bay on the driver's side so I'm going to try to run them up over the engine from the oil filter side. I'm not sure if that'll be shorter or not but it'll keep the wires away from the alternator and spark plug leads. If I do need to extend the trigger wires is there a "best way" to do it? I've never dealt with shielded wire before.
