Help with coils & wires?
Hi all,
Had #6 go bad on my 2013 z06 8k miles.
The coil conn is burnt & a couple small hard bits fell out of the boot, like ceramic? Wire is toast, replaced with an old c5z wire for now. Arced for a while before if fell off.
1) Can I replace just one of 8 coils? These only have 8k miles.
2) Does it need to match oem? Resistance etc.?
3) What about wires? On my c5z the originals went to chit by 50k miles.
4) Should I do all coils? Recommend?
5) I'll pull all the plugs & see what I find, if I don't like color etc. what plugs? Remember this is 80% street, the rest track & autox.
Thanks!

just get stock
Wires I like Magnecore wire great quality & long lasting
Mine lasted about 80,000 till I changed them the gap was pretty wide by then
Original’s are AC Delco Iridium and the best you can get
