[rant] Fkn Junk Taylor Wires!!! THese POS wires!
I've heard and read about these wires pulling and seperating when trying to do wires and or plugs... and NOW It happened to me. I was going to swap out my old NGK plugs w/ new NGK plugs, and went to gently pull and twist on the wire to get it to come off... It came off, but the damn connector was still on the plug!
I can't exactly pull the boot off and reconnect it, so I just shoved the connector down in there and pushed it back on the plug... It runs fine. Hopefully it will last till I can coordinate my finances to get a new set of MSD 8.5's... I know, but $50 can be a problem if not taken into account w/ the three bills that are due this time of month.

I had the same issue, and it damn near left me stranded as well...if I hadn't kept my stock wires, I would have been pissed. I most likely won't buy a set of those ever again.

^ MSD Set or Taylor? How many people have taken the Taylor wires off more than once, tho? I used the dielectric grease and they still pulled off. The plug boot spun fine, it's just the darn connector that was wicked tight on the plug.
