I have used those (Blue Max) in the past. They were OK but after three seasons I had leaks. Even though the resistance checked within spec for each wire, voltage was shorting out on the Air Injection tubes causing a misfire. In the dark you see the sparks jump.

I currently use MSD wires. I also get the HEI universal set and cut to my own wire lengths. I never could find a wire set (even AC Delco) that would fit well.

Yes,they are good wires, no fads or gimmicks. My set has lasted over 50,000 miles with no problems.

I've had good luck just using the Belden wires from NAPPA, perfect length and I think they were around $45.

I use the Blue Max wires with a Performance Distributors HV coil, module, rotor and cap. No problems yet.
