taylor wires or MSD wires

ok thanks. how much did your wires end up costing you for 8?

I've had'em a couple years, i think they were around 50-60 at a local speed shop. I was flipping through a magazine the other day and came accross an add for Accel's 5mm wires....i'm a little curious as to how well these work being such a small diameter, but the review says they pull just as much spark as any wires out there. Once my Taylor's are ready to get replaced, i might pick some of these up and see. It would be cool to be able to hide your wires and route them in one heat sleeve around the front of the head....that would keep them away from the headers nicely.

As for plugs, i have stock heads and don't need anything fancy, so i just get Autolite 25s at Walmart. I'd stay away from Bosch or anything that says Platinum in the title...they're junk and are way over priced.

I have autolite 25s with ford racing 9 mm. They are nice, look good and weren't to bad on the wallet. good luck with your decision.

On my Mustang I have MSD distributor, Moroso Wires, and Autolite plugs which I'm changing to colder plugs from NGK's. On my Falcon a Ford distributor with an MSD pick up install in it with Moroso wires and NGK's plugs

I've had my MSD wires and distributor for about 3 years and they still look brand new, never had any problem. Get regular Autolite 25s, platinum plugs=waste of $$

never used the msd wires, but ive had 2 sets of taylor on 2 diferent cars and never had any problems. my 89 and my truck has the 9mm motorsport wires on them now and they work fine too..

I just looked on Summit to see what they have as far as tech info, because i'm looking into those 5mm Accel wires.....they say that MSD's have only 40-50ohms of resistance, whereas Taylor Thundervolts have 50ohms....so i'd say they're around the same performace, except that the Thundervolts are quite a bit more expensive than the MSD wires...i'd go with MSD.
