Plug wire recommendations
Changing the plugs and wires this weekend and I'm looking for the best plug wires. What are your recommendations?
Also looking for any hints/tips/tricks for changing the plugs. :cheers:

Re: Plug wire recommendations (Kdrhpe)
Hi,
I have the MSD 8.5mm on right now, I have used them in the past and Taylor makes a great wire in 8mm too. Changing the wires was a bit of a bear on my '94 because of the optispark, your kinda working blind putting them on. Be patient and you should have no problems, having someone dangle them down to you from the top would be a great asset too.

Re: Plug wire recommendations (Danger Dave)
:lol: this'll prolly turn in to the MSD post. but yes...another vote for the super conductors from summit.
with these wires...and if you're running headers, you'll need a full set of 90 deg boots(one on the pass side has a straight boot) if you're stock you'll be fine. I have 8 boots here(my boot was swapped when the intake gasket was done) I'd sell if someone needs them.

Re: Plug wire recommendations (JD 90 383)
I am happy with my Taylor Sprio Pro from Speed Demon. They aare cheap and seem to work. Installation ins't bad and they do work with headers. If you need hints for installing them on an optispark, let me know. I just did it and it seemed to be pretty easy for me.

Ditto the MSD Super's, my wires are a custom deal though. I have ceramic plug boots (Jacobs) and used high-temp braided sheath because I have headers for added protection against heat. :mad

Tried the Stock and MSD's, MSD's are probably the best quality but.....
Taylor Spiro Pro's fit in the stock looms and easier install.
