Best Plug Wires


Recommended Posts

I bought a universal set of Accel 8mm spiral core many, many years ago. Still using them and last time I tested them they still showed about the same super low resistance of the spares left in the box. Two fittings and two boots I would have a second set.

NGK, don't bother with anything else due to price increase, and little quality increase, best price/quality ratio. got some blue ones, not sure if they are any different than black ones, thats all that O'reillys had but hey, they look cool atleast.

Coronan, if you want the fattest they will not be NGK. They are 7mm. The Accel wires have been on my Brat probably 15 years or more. I just found an universal kit with the boots I needed for the Brat. It came with a metal fitting to install in a bench vise and another fitting to strike against it with a hammer. Cut the wires to the length you need and crimp. When checked with an ohm meter these wires had about 1/3 the resistance of factory or off the shelf wires of similar length. They can be found on Ebay for very reasonable prices. You can probably find 8.8mm universals too!

Box is a little old and dilapidated. It is a 5040K set with straight plug boots and the rest I cannot make out. Has the short 90 boots for distributer cap and another set of boots for a different distributer. I see if I can find the same set on line when I get a chance.

Coronan, can you loosen the bracket and slide the coil a little closer?

 

JuhaKankunen, try Rock Auto or Ebay. Should be easy to find! Be sure to price the shipping from Rock. May find it cheaper on Ebay with free shipping if you search.
