Spark Plug Wires-Testing

[Paul Grant]

Pat,
For Magnecor wires give apexperformance.net a try. I think the 8mm wires are less than $70.

If you're really interested in the bonnet I'll hold it for you. Just let me know when you feel like taking a road trip!
Cheers,
Paul

Highly recommend the Magnecore wires. I did a full tune up @ 90,000 miles, OEM wires. Lasted about two weeks then arced through one of the boots (poor crimp). Plus had quite a light show at night (even without the salt spray), basically they suck.

Give the inside of the distributor cap a washdown with WD-40 or CRC 3-36. I do this at regular intervals, every other oil change or so, going on 60,000 miles on that cap (wish me luck, it'll probably crap out in the middle of a rainstorm).

To prevent the boots from sticking, apply a light coating of silicone grease to the top of the plug.
