C'mon, it's not that hard to pull the dash. But wire is 16 ga. if you must.

How long have you had the shorter cable? I tried one probably 10 years ago and it was almost too stiff to bend at all. I've heard they are better now. The motor is out right now so I can't check the fit.
Per post #1 regarding removing the distributor - "Since the repro head stud clamps do not tighten down on the armored cable if I need to remove the distributor I can simply disconnect the wire and slide the armored cable out."
