Default Just ordered LT's, should I replace plug wires??

I am the 185,492 to order Pacesetter Longtubes this month!! I ordered the Race Style & ORY. I also got Proform Motor Mounts as well as some NGK TR55 Plugs. Im going to get some manifold gaskets @ work tomorrow. Im ready for the install, just curious if I should go ahead and get some new wires. Mine are feeling fine still, unsure if they will stay together though w/ 122k on them. I figure Ill do a resistance and Voltage Drop test to them and as long as they dont fall apart, Ill keep them.

I'd pick some up. Preventive maintenance even with that many miles. Pick up some MSDs and you'll be set.

I'm changing my wires when i do my Lt install in a few weeks because i have 106K on them. So i would just change them. I'm going broke to so i'm trying to dig the money up for the tr55 and msd wires.

If you put the new ones on you might want to sheild them. Headers are known for burning them out. I've got going out now
