Spark plug wires hitting wiper motor

Spark plug wires hitting wiper motor - 06/28/11 10:11 PM

I have an MSD pro billet dizzy on a S/B in a 69 Dart.

The car has MSD wires on it, but i have Firecore wires to put on it.

The #5 wire is hitting the bottom bolt on the wiper motor.

Does anyone know a fix for this, with out taking the wiper motor off?

Dumb question:
My MSD is HEI style as in male connectors on the cap. Do you already run right angle boots on the distributor side of the wire?

That is not going to happen either.
The only BB going in that car has wires in the center of the valve covers!

I have been really thinking about doing that.
But ironically enough i got caught in the rain last year.
Around here the weather changes so fast, you cant predict 2 hours away.

Can you move the inntermediate gear to the next tooth, one way or another, and adjust the timing again?

I lifted the dizzy up today and messed with it.
I put it all back together and the wires fit better now.

For now everything is good.
But down the road, i will most likly remove the wiper motor.

And Fred you are right, RainX is the way to go!
