Default "Kool Socks"

Where is the best place to buy for the plug wires and spark plug boots?

Thanks,

Check around if you need to as there are several sources. I had good luck at Thunder Racing.

SUMMIT RACING or JEG'S also has them...maybe by a different name of manufacturer.
That is a good article on Ranger!

Just a word of caution - they don't work very well.

I put them on 2 plug wires on my driver's side that were fairly close to the headers. 3 and 7 I believe. The wires melted underneath the "kool socks" very quickly (a few weeks as far as I can tell), and the sock itself was untouched. It actually caused a lot of problems because I didn't realize the plug wire was burned because it was covered by the sock. I had to remove them to inspect them and that's when I found they had been severely melted. I switched back to stock gm heatshields and zero problems since then.
