Default Wires and Plugs

Gonna change my plugs and wires. Motor is pretty stock, just wondering what is the best way to go.

Should I do Accel or MSD wires?

Should I do NGK TR55's or NGK TR6's?

Can't remember which one but...

One of sponsors has MSD Wires + NGK TR55's for a great deal. Someone should chime in.

All plugs from the top, #8 is the easiest from bottom I find.

I'm happy with the set of MSD wires I bought some 6 years ago. They went for about 50K miles on my camaro, then were swapped onto my silverado where they have gone another 110K miles (so they have a good 160+K miles at this point) and are still pretty much flawless. Just use a little dielectric grease with every plug change and they will most likely outlast the vehicle.
