Spark plug wires and plugs brands

[Tom Rs]

Hey i saw that thunder racing is running a special, buy wires and get free plugs. My questions are 1 are these good 04-74243 Taylor Spiro-Pro 8mm Spark Plug Wires, 1995-1999 3.8l V6 F-Body, Red $39.99 ? and 2 what kind of ngk plugs would you guys reccommend ? what do they need to be gaped out for a 97 3.8l ? also how hard is it to change these wires and is there a good chance i'll melt these ? thanx

well i have those wires, and they are cheap. they offer very low resistance and offer probably the best performance wires, but the quality sucks. the part inside the boot, the medal part that connects to the plugs, keeps breaking off and it stays on the plugs when i take the wires off. pissin me off.

[Tom Rs]

hmm thanx for pointing that out. what else do you ppl run with ?

MSD wires......what else is there. also, just a normal platinum plug will work. you dont need some 10 dollar plug made out of a metal only found on mars [img]tongue.gif[/img] and for the gapping, the search button will tell you or O'Reillys will too

x2, i kinda burned one of my msd wires on my headers but it still does decent after that (hardcore) only studders once a week or so. On that note: not to jack the thread or anything but does anyone know where i can get just 1 msd wire???

email either MSD or a distributor like FTPP.net

I'm very happy with my Taylor wires. I found the quality to be pretty nice. Maybe we got them from seperate batches or something, but over all I was/am very happy with those wires.

well when i put the boot back over it they still work great, but its just weird. i thought maybe twisting the boot to take the wire off did it, but thats the recommended way. maybe the plugs are too fat and the connector got stuck ?

MSD Super conductor wires are some of the best wires out on the market and cost around $55 from Summit or Jegs. AC Delco Iridium plugs cost around $6 each at Advance Auto. Supposed to be better than platinum.

its not a question of better. its a matter of money and not needing to spend 6 bucks. my NGK Platinum plugs works wonders and they only cost me 2.25 dollars

is the job hard to do on a 97 ? also i see alot of ppl do have the taylor spiro wires so do you guys reccommend ?

[BLLDOGG]

its going to take some time cause well......you have an fbody and you dont have the round manifolds

[Tom Rs]

do i need any special tools ? any chance of these being less heat resistent and melting them ?

[BLLDOGG]

no special tools needed. you should be fine. just route them correctly

Make sure you use the clear boot grease that comes with the wires. It makes all the difference in the world if 1000 miles down the road you have to take them off. I replaced the wires on my girlfriends car and the last guy must not have used grease because I thought I was going to have to get pliars to get them off.
