Autolite #25's
Ford Racing wires
Brass terminal cap and rotor
Mobil 1 Synthetic. This stuff made a 130,000 mile engine look like new in 15,000 miles with regular oil changes.
K&N oil filter
Stay away from the splitfire plugs and all the other gimmicks. Nasacar uses Autolites.

I run the Autolite plugs like everyone else. Pass on the Motorsport wires, they leak like a siv. They are good for making your kids hair stand up, but that's about it. I run the Accel cap and rotor. It has brass connectors and the plastic is thicker than most competitors.
Synthetic oil is always a great way to go. It's always a good deal at Walmart. The Purlolator Pure One actually out filters the K&N. If they were the same price I would say it's just an oil filter, but K&N is way to proud of their stuff.

Thanks guys should I run 8.5 wires or 8? Thanks for the oil sugestions I have no idea what's in there now and I wanted to go synthetic so you guys helped a lot! So I guess ill get autolite #25 with some decent wires anybody know what autozone or advance auto carry wires and plug wise
8mm is fine. I've been running the Accel 300+ wires. You can order them through Advance, probably Autozone as well.

The 300+ are 8.8mm, but that's fine, er better, er whatever doesn't matter. They had a set that you can cut to fit in stock, but if you are willing to wait a day or two they can order a pre cut set. Part number 7054. This set.

Just use the regular #25 plugs. There is no advantage to using the platinum or double electrode plugs. They have dyno tested to prove it years ago.
I have never had any bleeding with Ford Racing wires. Pull them off with the car running all the time. I also like the Taylor stuff. And it used to be a bit cheaper. Spiro Pro's were good wires.

If you need cheap wires, just get the over counter whatever ones for the time being. MSD cap and rotors are fine. The MSD wires suffer from the same problems the Motorsport ones do. They are probably made by the same company. We had a guy on here probably a year or two ago have the same problem with the Motorsport ones again. Open the hood at night, and they put on a little light show for you. I just usually steer clear of MSD stuff. Platinum plugs repel oil and fuel fouling better. For performance there is no difference. I'd just go with the cheaper standard copper plugs.
