MSD ignition

I have a 74' F100 4x4 360 CI with a MSD ignition. The problem i'm having is the Wires are starting to melt were they rest against the engine. Is there straight wires with out the 90 degree bend in it.

Of course. :)

I just got some Bosch wire-wrapped type from AutoZone.
I cut the ends off the distributor end an re-connect them when I shorten the wires.
I set mine up so none of the 'wires" touch grounded metal.

YMMV

We can build our Live Wires to specific lengths and specific boot angles for each cylinder for you.
