Mismatching plugs and wires
Is it ok to mismatch spark plug'* and wires? For example if I was to buy a set of Taylor wires and Ngk spark plugs. Or a set of MSD ignition wires? Anything but Bosch, right?

Generally, no Bosch in GM cars ya.
Well, it should be fine, I mean some of us have stock wires and upgraded plugs, so you should be fine

lol when i read the title of the post and the first couple sentences i thought he meant the order of the wires and stuff. Then you might have problems. A spark plug wire is a spark plug wire, both will conduct electricity.

Keep consistent plugs, and consisten wires. Different plugs fire differently, and the Ignition System will be slightly off. Make sure they're all the same model, and gapped the same too!
