I know that I will be branded a weenie for having a V-6 in my '94, but
that's just the way it goes.

I bought the MSD wires awhile back (which are labeled for the 318 but I
was told by Summit that they would be correct for the V-6), went to
install them on the V-6 and found the coil wire to be way too short
(about 14 inches total length). The coil is hanging off the right front
of the block, the distributor (in presumably a pretty standard location)
is on the left rear, so the coil wire would actually be longer than any
of the plug wires (which it isn't). The new Summit order person says
that only Taylor has the right wires for the V-6. Has anyone been
through this -- and any suggestions?
