Hey everybody,
Been searching through the threads but having trouble finding something more recent. I want to do a tune up on my 88 GT running what looks like pretty much original ignition parts. I replaced the spark plugs with standard autolites based on comments i could find in searches. Gapped to .054". When i was pulling the wires i realized how cracked and worn they look. So i figured i would do a replacement and then i started to get confused on if i should spend money on something like an MSD or Livewire, or go with something less expensive but still an upgrade like Ford Racing wires. I also want to replace the cap and rotor and maybe coil. My car is pretty much stock right now except for headers and bbk catted H pipe with flowmaster catback exhaust. Future upgrades planned, but starting with supporting mods like suspension first.
So with that said i am trying to weed through the advertising hype and peoples real world experiences. I was thinking a heavy duty standard accel cap and rotor. For plug wires i can't decide between the livewires, msd, and ford racing. Then for coil maybe the screamin demon?
What are your recommendations as depending on the search i do, i get that one minute something is great, then the next that it is an absolute waste of money/junk?
