Im gonna be tuning up my car soon, and figure while I got half the crap out I might as well put better pieces in. Im sticking with motorsport plugs, but what coils are good (summit has a few accel ones), and what wires are good? I like those msd's, with that rotor cap thing that holds them all on, whats that calleD?

thanks alot.

I just remembered. Don't buy the MSD blaster coil. I bought 2 and they both
arced. I went back to stock coil and it ran better. Some have had good luck with them. Not me.

They are a large online ford dealer that does mail order. An internet search will reveal their site (cant remember it off the top of my head). they also have large ads in stang mags.

Good luck.

Motorcraft stuff is very good. I just use brass terminal cap and rotor from the parts store myself. Were I to need all that stuff, I would entertain that kit (nothing but positive feedback from everyone who has ever gotten it).
