Default Suggested Spark plug wires

Im going to buy some new plug wires, considering the fact that I got shocked through the insulation the other day. That was a rude awakening.

Well I thought I would try some new wires to see if this would help my engine running like crap problem since they grabbed my attention so abruptly. I have been looking between the msd's and the taylors. Looking to spend about 60 bucks. Any suggestions?

Did a search didnt find anything.

Taylor makes a set that fit perfect. They are application specific and not just random lengths. I don’t know the pn off hand but I can dig it up if you want. I like these the best out of all the ones that I have tried over the years.

If you could get that number that would be great! I decided on the taylors I just needed the 90 deg. boots. I will try to order from the guys at napa if they are able to get them.

I have the MSD 8.5mm wires. I had one boot burn through and arc on my EM headers but I think this would have happened with any wire. Since they are larger they do not fit in the factory looms. They are also a little more expensive. I still like my MSDs but you will probably be better off with the Taylors.

I like the Magnecor's or Taylors, had good experience with those. Know plenty of people who have used Accell and MSD, and not had any problems either.

If you want huge you can get Magnecor's in a 10mm wire.

+1 for the taylors. They have the best boots out of anyone.
