I just performed this questionable act on my 460, all the while telling myself that the wires will not work and this is a bad idea.

I kept on anyway and fired it up to check my mad scientist work, and it actually seemed to run smooth.

Before I go any farther and run it like this, I want to know if anyone has ever done this with success, or should I replace the stock wires?

The reason I got these wires is because I was doing the rest of the six liter tune up. I had already advanced my base timing to about 13 degrees BTC when I rebuilt my motor last year.

Other goodies I added as part of the six liter job
-MSD streetfire coil
-MSD dist. cap and rotor
-New autolite 25 copper plugs gapped to .053(I didn't want to over-do it with the gap)

Advice?

 

I've had the Ford Racing plugs for over a year now. No issues what so ever. They're longer and take a bit more work to tidy up nicely, but there shouldn't be any issue.

 

Thanks, glad to hear it.

"Nicely" doesn't describe how I tied back my wires, but when I get more time I will figure it out. I bought some moroso wire looms, but since the wires are so long it is hard to fit them in an organized manner.
