I've got the best deal on MSD wires and NGK plugs on the planet
pm me for your needs or just go straight to paypal (topher_23@msn.com user name). $66 even for plugs and wires delivered, just indicate red or black and tr55 or tr6 in the notes as well as car or truck and I'll take care of the rest. I gauranty my wires for life !

DO NOT go with the Taylor Thundervolts!! They fall apart much much to easily!
