Thx for all the advice! I elected to install ac41-110 plugs and MSN 8.5 wires. Factory plugs and wires looked fine at 50k miles. Local shop did ithe 2.25 hrs. I believe it runs better. Good for another 16 years if I live that long.

My car was skipping and studering on take off plus wasn't run all that well. I found two of my MSD wires with small burn holes in them. And I had boot protectors on them.

I just ordered a set of Taylor 10.5 wires which have gotten great reviews. And will use the boots again making sure I'm not touching the headers.

My .02:

I like the Summit Racing wires because the boots are at 45 degree angles, easier to keep them out of trouble.

If using NGK plugs which I would recommend, DO NOT use anti-seize. They come with a coating from the factory already, and using anti-seize creates wet torque, meaningyou will over tighten them.

If you insist on using it, make sure you find the wet torque specs for your plugs/engine.

Get one of these too!
