Best Spark Plug Wires under $40
 
yes shipped or bought locally.

I can get the premium autolight 8mm ones at Shucks (western equivilant to advance I think)

This is what the car has now, however they are old and am going to replace them anyway


Or the blue ones some people on here use I think are also 8mm.

Whats everybodys favorite for wires?

I need the best and most reliable here, trying to sqeeze every bit of performance out of the beast.

Napa Belden wires are the blue ones.

I've gotten AC Delco's for $41 and Autolite Professionals for $40.. both are also good.

I will be doing wires too as well. Can you get the AC Delco's at any parts store, or the dealer?? Do Autolite professionals come in colors?

autolites are grey at least the ones I can get


arnt AC delco 7mm or something? I thought they would not be as good as a 8mm wire, especially when I upgrade my coils.

I must be thinking of another brand.

I thought the extra 1mm was just thicker insulation. :?

I may go with Taylor again. Anyone know where to get them (it's been a while).

the napa belden wires are 7mm

Hans 04-25-2006 11:24 PM

so know the debate continues is the 8mm really a difference?

I heard there is absolutly no affect on performance. I say just get OEM AC Delco. Gotta admit the stock wires are pretty damn good. Most last well over 100K.
