I totally agree, bugs the hell out of me, trying to fix it. :)

I've spent a lot of time with looms and things keeping the wires all tidy.
They're as far as I can get them from the headers, too hot.

Why would that gap cause a more complete burn? The way I understand it, it
takes more potential to bridge a larger gap, so the spark's hotter. I think the
MSD wires have way less resistance than the stock ones, the arcs to the block
are obviously way hotter/louder than stock, so isn't the spark also hotter
because of the wires? My theory is the smaller gap (cooler spark) and the wires
(hotter) kinda cancel each other out, with the advantage that it doesn't arc to
the block. I'm really just guessing, seems to work.

I'd like to reindex the distributor and check the tps voltage (per Bernd)
today. I guess I can clean the IAT (also per Bernd I think).
