Default Magnecor plug wires

I tried to purchased a set of Magnecor KV85 plug wires from **** po*er sto*e . com :D a month ago (they still haven’t arrived). I just got off the phone with them and they said these wires are having a problem coming apart. :confused: They don’t stock them and don’t recommend them! Anybody know where I can buy a set?

Thanks
Russ

Russ,
I to had tried to purchase the Magnecors, and they all told me the same thing there having problems keeping them on so they just stoped carring them. They all say stick to the Taylors, They seem to like the 409 race wires, I'm going to go to them when the red is available, I have not had any problems with my taylor 8mm so i'll give the 409's a shot.... Mike

What of these stories about Taylor messing up the radio and electronic? I have Taylors on four cars with no problems, cut a lot of people seem to have problems with them on the Vette. How about the GM Hot Wires?
