Review on πŸ”₯ High-Performance MSD 32823 Black 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wire Set: Unleash the Power of Your Engine! by Scott Tompkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Ignition parts too long for 5.3L

These were purchased for a 2006 GMC Yukon XL with a 5.3L engine (like the Chevy Suburban). The Revain website says they fit the GM 5.3L. It's essentially a set of short wires that run from each coil to the adjacent spark plug. They're all an inch or two longer, and the cables end up rubbing against things in the engine bay. Cylinder #5 is actually getting stuck on the steering column causing the cable to come loose. In the end I made a special cable for this cylinder. I would not recommend this item for this application. On the MSD website the correct part number is listed as part number 32829 which is a black wire version of the exact same cable. This is also shown as the correct part for the 5.3 liter application on the Revain website. I called MSD to complain and the tech told me I need part number 32813 but the Revain Compliance Program says they are not suitable for my application. I bought the shorter set 32813 on the recommendation of the tech and they fit but were quite tight. It would be nice if they were all half an inch longer for this application. Asterisks were omitted due to application and compliance ambiguities.
