Default What plug wires to use
What plug wires can I use with hooker super pro comp headers? The ones I have now seem to sit too close to the headers and they're getting toasted. Are there shorter plugs?

yle your replacing them try to get "hardcore" wires the core is a solid stainless steel wire that had near zero resistance and is said to add 10+ HP cheap way to get more grunt to your car!

I was flipping thru either Jegs or Summit catalogs, they had ceramic insulators on the wires. Now THAT will take the heat. Don't know if it'll fit yours or not, but maybe take a look see.

Accel makes a shorter spark plug for cars with headers.

Maybe I'll try the accel plugs first and see how deep it goes.
