I used the MSD 8mm assemble yourself wires. They looked really nice and they assembled really well but they were crap. I went through 2 sets and each set lasted only 5000 miles. The first set started missing on 1 or 2 cylinders. The second set, they all seemed to go at once and I couldn't even get the car to start until I replaced them.


For my third set, I went to a nice set of Taylor mades. On my car, one or 2 plug wires run right next to the battery. I liked the wires, but one day a month or two after I installed them, i was washing my car and noticed that those two wires had holes burned into them where a tiny bit of battery acid had dripped on them.

Out with the Taylors. For my 4th set, I installed some Moroso Blue Max wires. So far, they have been by far the best. They have over 10,000 miles on them and the battery acid doesn't affect them the way it affected the Taylors.
