I returned the new plug wires I got because they were not the right lengths (some were too long, one was too short). What plug wires are the best fitting/most reliable that you've found for an EA82?

Sounds like they gave you EA81 plug wires.. Thats happened to me a number of times. I finally just bought the accell 8mm cut to fit set.. its for a V8, so you get two sets in one:D

NGK or Accell fit fine. I got a set of Accell wires from e-bay for 15 bucks.

i got some Autolite pro-fits at Checker for 20 bucks. pre cut and all their lengths are darn near perfect..

Ditto on the Autolites.

I've had good luck with Accel wires. I too bought a universal set for a V8 and made two sets for my car!

NGK's are the best for Subes, IMO.

 

Besides being the correct legnth, they snap onto the plugs like no other brand I've ever tried. Plus, they look cool in blue!!

 

The others just aren't quite up to par. Even the best of them pale in comparison. When you consider that NGK's are priced about the same as the "premium" grade aftermarket wires, it's really a no brainer.

good luck, John

Last set I bought were made by Wells; good brand and they were the correct length. At first, as Alleyboy has noted, the boots didnt fit on that tight. Well they have since shrunk up and fit nice

 

I might have to try those NGK ones next; they sound good. Ive used the 8mm custom cut ones noted above; worked great on my 472ci V8. Took a while to cut, boot, and crimp them all however!

What size are the NGK wires?

my ngk's are 8mm and fresh from the pap

I'm going to try a set of those NGKs this summer then.
