I have had bad luck with Accel and FRPP. I run Taylor 409's (10.5) on the Gt and Taylor 8mm on the Lx with great success.

Ford,MSD,ACCEL,TAYLOR, they are all good. Accel and ford have the best prices. I picked my ford 9mm up for $39. They work and look good.

I went with MSD 8.5 wires. The boots ends are also bendable that way I can keep them off the headers.

Howcome more people dont use MSD? Has anybody seen that thing that tests the ohms/foot at the parts store? It shows the MSD's wires are far less resistive... is there any corelation to that and good wires?

I recommend Taylor Spiro Pro's, as I have had great results with several sets. The oldest set was 8 years old when I sold the vehicle. Currently have them on both the Mustang and the Capri.
