Are those the Accel Armor shield wires in the B4 pic ?
I was thinking of buying a set of these.
Any problems or down-side with the old wires ?

I like the yellow, but am not a big fan of the bundle of snakes over the valve covers look. Here is a pic of mine with yellow Moroso cut-to-length wires and Moroso looms.

I like it. It gives your distributor kind of a Don King kinda look.

I like the old look too, but definitely am a fan of the yellow wires

I like the matching color but I'm a fan of wire looms.



I'd scare my self opening your hood and thinking a pile of wild snakes was attacking.
You know we are all just joshing you.

I always liked the look of the shielding over the wires. I think it cleaned it up quite nicely. Unless done well the spark plug wires were an eye soar to me. Buts that's just my opinion.
