Re: Who makes a good ignition wire The current state of the art in plug wires is the spirl wound copper conducter. This offers low resistance AND good RF suppression, a must with any computer or data acquisition application. These wire are used in all forms of racing, NASCAR,TRANSAM,TOP FUEL & on & on. Don't worry about jacket diameter, that's mostly marketing flash. This wire type is offered by MSD, Delphi and a few others. I like the MSD double crimp terminal as it lowers resistance and ellimanates the chance of core breakage when you bend the conductor over for crimping.

Re: Who makes a good ignition wire Theres too many differences in opinion. I like the info you provided HaveBlue, as it seems you go the extra distance when offering help. I happen to favor the stock wires, and TR6 plugs. Stock wires provide the same low resistance as aftermarket, and the TR6 plugs help battle summer heat, even in NA applications. I also like the Iridiums, nice plugs. For NA, put them in and forget about them..they last!

Re: Who makes a good ignition wire Taylor also here. You might want to consider wire boots(heat socks) also, the stock ones wont work with the new wires, and they only cost about $20

Re: Who makes a good ignition wire SSCamaro99 3, you obviously needed some wires. I have a habit of checking the ohms of wires, as my own comapro and the only ones I see over 45-50ohms are bad ones, even twist them around to check for inconsistencies. Dayum 2.4k ouch, bet that ran like a ford!
