I bought the Autolites for $38.
When I took the stock ones off I ohmed one out, it (EDIT: the Autolite) had more resistance than the 84,000 mile stock one so I left them.

8.5 MSD superconductors are the way to go

Don't waste your time or money on them. Get the MSD/NGK package from WS6store. Well worth the money. I worked for Advance, we had the Autolite wires come back often.
