TAYLOR ignition wires
Car is a stock 95 and I am going to replace the ignition wires.
Picked out Taylor P/N 74225 wires. Does anyone know if they are the dull red in color like the ones you'd find on an LT4, or are they shiney red?
If shiney, I think I'll go with a black set of Thundervolts

Again, I haven't use any of the others to compare. But these seemed to be fairly well built. The only problem I had was the kit I bought was not the 74225 because I wanted the mix of straight and 90* boots from the 74226 kit and the coil wire with that kit was about 2" too short going to my opti. I had to buy a single wire replacement kit that came with a single long wire and several boots and connectors.

i have the taylors on my 94 and they are good wires. i replaced my stock set due to arching with an msd set. garbage. they didnt lock well onto the plugs, then when i went to remove them, 2 of them just fell apart (yes i used the dialect grease on the boots), then replaced with taylor. have had them for over a year and theyre doing just fine

Taylor are good wires. Thats what I run.
If it makes you feel better, the shiny red got dull after a few thousand miles on the road (road dust, grime, etc.)
They work great unlike the MSD crap that spark arc'd when brand new. I didnt want to start a fire under the hood (should something leak) so I replaced them with taylor
MSD = pO$

with the previous posts, not because I run them on my car......TPIS recommended the wires to me when my engine rebuild project was under way several years ago.....I've been running the Taylors since 2004 with no issues.....very good product (in my personal experience anyway)...

My Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Red wires turned dull after about a year on my daily driven 91 Vette.
One day when I was doing regular maintenance, I noticed one of the Taylor wires was split about mid length through on the drivers side cylinder 7, it looked brittle but, it wasn't near anything hot.
I replaced the wires with MSD 8mm wires and 7 years later they're still fine.
