I havent had any problems with my FMS wires. Only complaint so far is they were too long so I had to cut them and make them shorter. Livewires are the best, taylor also makes some good wires.

I have not had any problems with my Ford wires after about 4 years. The only thing is the boots that connect to the distributor have turned a slight faded black color instead of the normal gloss back. I guess the heat has worked on them. I have a new set waiting to go on in 6 months or so.

I've always ran the blue Motorsport wires (4 years) with no probs, but I have been thinking about trying the Taylors or Livewires.

I had FMS wires. Didn't like them. I have LiveWires now and they are really nice.

I used to have a MAC cold air intake, which is "chromed". I made a homemade cold air intake to fit my new Prom 80mm but this thing is too big. I wasnt able to fit it in the fender. So I tried the top part of my old Mac cold air intake and it fit great.

I have Taylor wires. I ordered a set of FMS and they didn't fit well and they were really faded. The coil wire was pretty funky also. I got an eve swap for the Taylor wires and I am so glad I did. The color is more vibrant as well for the Taylors.

I dont have the car with me right now so I cant confirm. Is the CODE written on the wires ? I didnt buy those wires, they came with the car so I dont know. They do look nice though.

I use the FMS reds and have not had any problems. Although I will get the Taylors next for more color, the FMS are not a good color kind of looks faded and dull.

i like my FMS wires, but the rumor is true, they are a bit long. they are supposed to be universal for the 302 and 351 with a couple others. thats why they are so long

I like my FMS wires, but I've heard from others that they're not that great.
