I asked him before about that, and the guy who owns the site said he's already got the specs, he just hasn't uploaded them yet. You should email him if you're interested. I bought Probe 2.5 wires from him, and I was happy with the product.

They show 2 sets for the Probe 93-94 and 95-97. Which set do you think I should get LF1? Will these be long enough to follow between the IM and front VC and along the left side to the rear bank? Which ones would best suit ZE 7mm, 8mm, or 9mm? Are any of the other options like high heat worthwhile/beneficial being that the ZE is a pretty big heat generator.

the msd wires you have to crimp and put together ..its cheaper than getting the stock wires, probe gt wires fit.

You get the ones to match the distributor. So American MX3 owners would get the 93-94 Probe wires. Here's what mine look like installed:

I got the 8mm wires with neon blue flex wrap. They fit in aftermarket wire holders from Autozone for 8mm wires BARELY.

Jason, very nice engine bay!! Would it be safe to assume that the Cdn version disty is the same, ie - should also get the 93-94? I'm still running the original '92 K8 disty. Not that it would really stand out but was there any noticable improvement with the wire change?

There was a slight change in idle smoothness. After I checked the old wires I found out. A couple had such high resistance, that they didn't even register on my multimeter. So nothing's going to change with replacing wires unless your old ones have gone bad. If they read anything over 5,000 ohms, then replace them.

And the 92 MX3 disty is the same as the 93 disty from the Probe/MX6.
