What is the spark plug wire of choice?

[boxer3main]

I don't know how they hold up on a big bad race care but i just use 8mm Accels and cut and put the ends on myself for a nice fit.

me too.
custom cut accel, it resemebles old fast copper wound, but with modern insulation. best I have had to date sitting on top of a flat engine . I have excess wire that has to sit in strange ways to equal length the wiring.

now it has a bigger ignition, another engine..same wires. no end to them it seems. the boots are cheesy at plug end, I learned to go easy. (save boots from another brand)

Thanks for the input bill. I think I will be ordering up a set of those firecores.

As you learned 632Stang, they make them up to order for you so measuring carefully is the order of the day. I had mine made with the so-called ProMod boots, big, fat sorta pink looking things with a nice raised grip/lip at the end. I no longer have to run the woven plug wire boots I had to run with the MSD's.

I have the MSD tool equivelent to the Taylor one pictured as I made up my wires for a long time. MSD is a good quality product, but after a lot of reading and talking to folks who were runing the Firecore, I made the switch. I have no issues since and they've been on the car going on three years.

Oh boy. Here we go.


Anyway, I've been happy with the Taylor wires, and have had them on and off many times. I was fortunate enough to be able to use a friend's crimping tool when "building" them. He has made dozens of sets of wires (Taylor, mostly) and the investment was worth it for him... to only build one set of wires, the tool would be cost prohibitive.

You say Oh Boy and then recommend Taylor wires...... Oh Boy indeed.......

Taylor is a leader in plug wires. Nothing wrong in the good taylor wires

It's been a while since I had anything that needed "good" wires....but I think I remember having really good luck with wires from Moroso. Blue Max I think. I had interference with 2 other sets with an electric box on a 10 second street Willys I had that was fixed with Blue Max wires

There is nothing wrong with any of them, that is what I was getting at, they all light the fire and you really think 4 or 5 HP is going to make any sort of difference when your running 9's?? Hell even running 13's it's not going to make a difference......... It's all just hype in order to sell wires.... Mine is better than yours, marketing hype........

Uhhh. Ya, I do... could be the difference between winning or losing. Another lame-ass comment underlining your lack of any real experience.

BS, no way, do you even understand that amount of HP it takes to even go .01 seconds faster when your running in the 9's?? You go research that and get back to me......... I will tell you it's more than 4 or 5 hp.........

[jcharliem]

...I will tell you it's more than 4 or 5 hp...

LOL. You'll tell who, based on what? Your theories?
