Guys,
I took this picture at the DVII. Can anyone identify who makes these plug wires and valve covers?
Thanks!
Steven

I believe Taylor makes the wires (SST model). As for valve covers, I have seen them, but don't remember where. Most have different letters.

Thanx,
So far, Taylor seems to be the answer for the wires. I saw them in Jeggs today. I really like those valve covers for their "pent roof" style.....Someone's got to know...

Steve,

Mustangs Plus has a pretty big selection of valve covers and they have some that in the book look very close to but not exactly like the ones in the picture. However you may be able to call them and they can either get or tell you where to get those exact ones. The ones I see in their pictures with just Cobra on them has the Cobra off center. Just a thought as to a place to try.

House of Cobras can get you a set of these FE style Pent Roof Valve covers for a small block,$524.40 plus shipping. Knock off $75.00 for bare aluminum. They would not tell me who supplied them, but did say they were made in SOCAL.

Rodney,
I would have to go into HOC to afford them from H.O.C.
There's got to be another vender.

Thanks for the lead though..

Steven, Let me know what you find. I want these cool looking valve covers and so far HOC was my only lead! Thanx. Rod

Steve,
Regarding the SS braided wires, if you're running an MSD 6AL or similar type spark box, I don't recommend these wires. I recently installed a new set of Accel SS braided wires and within 2 weeks they began arcing and causing my engine to misfire. I switched to MSD 8.5mm wires and haven't had a problem since.

Steve,

What Mike said about the braided wires alsoholds true for the Jacobs Pro Street unit. After a short time they will actually arc through the wire insulation. I had to wait until night to find out why my car had developed an intermittant miss and I could see different wires arching at times.

Ron,
I know exactly what you mean, it was actually pretty spectacular to see, kind of looked like St. Elmo's fire!!!

Thanks for the heads-up
