NGK 8mm Wires... dunno cost I got them years ago... I have always used Bosch Platnum 4 also. make sure your wires are not touching eachother or any metal as this will cause arc over.

woah i havent seen secondary sparkplug wires in a long time. yay for coil on plug. if i ever had a car that used plug wires again i would get MSD super conductors 8.5 mm again. i had a set for over 2 years before i learned how to test static resistance. the longest one had 75 ohms. start looking for a set that have less than 1k ohms. it'll be a while. i think summit has them for less than $75.

Taylor, 8mm they are pretty good and come in blue, red, black colors if you like... amsperformance.com is selling them for 70 bucks

Yes if your wire are touching or on metal they will arc over and yes its like interfernce but it will cause the engine to stumble at random.

My engine has those little post (2) off the valve cover that hold the wire appart and away from the valve cover. They do break easy especially over the years... so hit up a junk yard or something.

Yeah, mine are broken, so my wires are twisted on each other randomly. Good to know, thanks.
