Default Nology Hotwires require a special spark plug?
I have a set of Nology Hotwires for my TA, and I had a friend tell me that I would need a special zero-resistance spark plug in order for these wires to work correctly.

Anyone know anything about these wires?

They're a huge waste of money. The only plug wires you need are stock, MSD, or Taylor.

I have seen dyno tests of a 600 hp smallblock that was tuned to perfection. They added the nology wires and gained 16 hp. Maybe that was a fluke, but it was in a national magazine several years ago. If I had nology wires I would call the company and see what plugs they recommend. Good luck.

I already got the wires, they were on sale, and were cheaper than the GM wires that I was looking at, so I figure... what the hell.

I had a nology salesman contact me, and he said that they wires will work with any spark plug, but will work best with their 0 resistance silver plugs.... at $10 a piece. LOL

Good. That means you might make a buck when you put them up for sale on EBay Seriously, you really should sell those to avoid future problems, and in return put that money towards something that actually works.

I've got the Nology Hotwires in my car... I just replaced the Silverstone Plugs they gave me with some NGK's and all seemed just fine

Hope a real honest NON-Sarcastic answer helped

I used the coil pack bolts as those are easier to get to... and i don't see it making a difference either way...
