I need new plug wires. I gotta fab my own b/c I relocated my CraneCams LX91 lead coils to the BMK at stock location. What name-brands are you using? Mallory? MSD? Accel? Taylor?



Thanks for your input.

I was going to make up a set of the Taylor kind. A buddy of mine runs those without problems.

There's a few company's that sell the wire by the foot and you buy the ends and crimp them yourself. The boots and connection on the Moroso are as tight as a virgin!

if you go to your local auto parts store, you will have to buy a MSD 8.5mm wire kit, and have 4 wires left over, at a cost of $90

Then Taylor it is for me. I just talked to a pawd'na who can get Taylor. I guess I want to go with the street version that suppresses RI and makes a lotta fire as oppposed to the race wire.

I got my wires from a discount auto parts store, and they are just generic ones. They were hanging on a rack in different lengths and styles, all black, and about $1.25 each. They have worked perfectly since I put them on and the engine seemed to run better with them compared to the old wires. It's funny how much a name brand wire set costs when I bought my generic wires for about $6 and they work fine.

yeah, mine are generics as well and quite inexpensive. with all the juice goin' through them thanks to the jacobs, it's time to upgrade. just ordered some taylor's @$34 from summit racing so's i can rolls my own. i'm not running quite right. the new bosch plugs need new wires and these Spirals are pretty stout.
