Need some spark plug wire reccommendations
Well, I'm going to change my plugs and wires sometime this week, already have some plugs. What I wanna know is what would be the best bang for my buck when it comes to wires? I was told Bosch would be a good choice without paying a bunch of money. Any other brands?

Some good choices of plugs are
AC Delco
Autolite
NGK
Plug Wires
Autolite Professional
AC Delco
Napa Belden
Bosch products have not worked well for most of the people here. For some reason the cars seem to chew them up and run poorly in short time.

When it comes to plugs and wires we don't generally advise Bosch. One of the really common wires people run are NAPA Belden Premium wires. They are only around $40.

My preferance is:
Plugs: AC Delco, champion if your in a real bind but I mean a REAL bind.
Wires: AC Delco or Napa Belden
Don't fall for the multi electrode plugs, an engine only needs and only uses one spark per cumbustion cycle...the multi spark plugs are a bunch of crap in my oppinion.

well if yah want ANOTHER opinion stacked on this....
I used NGK TR-55s for plugs...but you already have some good ACs...
As for wires, I used some Silicone Autolite Professional 8mm wires...OH they are so nice. And my car has never run so good.

The way I look at it..
The 95 I got ran good and had the original AC Delcos at 155K (even when I hosed it down to clean it! )
The 97 had 133K and ran good til hosed, tossed a check engine and got fresh plugs and wires. Since then the beast hasn't been quiet...lol
