Man, I haven't dealt with a distributor in a looooonnnng time since most cars have coil packs now days, at least that I've owned. If you want to order online, your best bet would be checking out an auto parts online store such as autozone, oreilly, NAPA, etc. On these sites you'll be able to enter your vehicle information and it will tell you what plugs, wires, and distributor will fit your vehicle!

NONE of the LS-1 ,2, 3, 6 or 9 engines has a distributor! Its individual coil near plug design. The wires are only about 8" long each. The coils are on top of the valve cover and connect directly to the plug under it



Get the GM Performance Red wires and use the AC Delco Iridium Plugs.

They can be had at www.gmpartshouse.com Talk to Patrick of Gene and there about $55 for the set:



There are ZERO NADA ZILCH performance gains to be had in plugs or wires.

Purchase them only when the others are in need of being changed. The GM Performance wires have quality materials and fit properly on the plugs and coil towers.
