Calling Eric AKA "DASBOOT" .. Wire heat sheating ...

[kala]

I wanted to email you but you didn't had your email entered in the system..........i am changing my plugs and wires this week .....so, i have decided to get (from www.ftpp.net

1. MSD-32799: MSD 8.5mm SuperConductor Wires - 3.8L V6Plug-End Boot Style: 90° $60.50 (90° or multi angle??)

2. NGK-TR55 NGK NGK V-power Spark Plug $2.24

now, i remember seeing an old thread where you mentioned that you bought some heat sheating for the wires from Summit for 25-26ish dollars........after reading that cz28.com misfire thread, i deff want to protect my wires and stop getting misfire codes ........ do you remember the summit part no. ? or can send me a link of that item in other site? ..........i just don't feel like spending $60 on heat shielding from ftpp ..........thanks ............btw, have i made the right choice with the plugs and wires? ........should i get 90* or multi angle? ......

Re: Calling Eric AKA "DASBOOT" .. Wire heat sheating ...

mine aren't 90* boots but not sure of if it would make a difference.

I have a '00 so remember my exhaust manifolds are different.



As for what I used it was some generic heat sheething from summit. came in a 6' roll I cut 1 foot for each wire. I also used the orginal heat shields with them. I did a quick search not seeing my normal stuff, but there are other things on their. Just some heat sheathing, or even the boot protectors.

I got MSD wires, they still fire strong and I have had them on for 40k miles.


As for the plugs, imo plugs are plugs... I have been running autolites but have had NGKs and no real difference.

all you need are the boot protectors, don't worry about that heat shielding wrap stuff.

OMG.....i couldn't believe it ........ i was throwing cyl 6 misfire code intermittently for couple months now ...... i ordered all the parts (plugs,wires, heat shields) as part of my tune up .......... just to make sure whats causing my cylinder 6 misfire, i raise the car ........... i start checking all the wires .......when i came to no. 6 , as i am gonna touch the wire to check if it's loose, it falls into my hand!!! ........... the heat had melted (dematerialized) the rubber ............ i've been driving on 5 cyl for i don't know how long ......... please note that i have changed the wires less than 8 months ago (15k miles/mostly highway driving) and yet they go bad! .......... the heat in those area is unbelievable .........so, anyone who's throwing misfire codes and you're overlooking your plugs and wires , please check em before you start changing coil packs, injectors, etc ........... i also checked that my current wires are only 7 mm where the new msd will be 8.5 :) ........boy i can't wait to install em .........

yep that will make a bit of a difference... and the heat sheathing will definitely be helping.
