I need new plug wires

[Fast68back]

Interesting topic. I was discussing it with my husband about changing out the wires in Gertrude. PO put some Accel 8.8mm yellow/black ones on it. Does anyone know if Accel is any good? Or should I look into something better? Either way I hate the yellow wires and it will be changed. They don't match anything. :lol

My dad put a set of accel wires on my car, this is what they looked like after sitting for 20 years, I had to snap them in half to throw them away they had formed the way they sat.

That's what you call "too stiff". Wow.

I know there is a Viagra joke in there somewhere.

Now that is a good judgment of the quality of Accel wires....sitting for 20 years..... :lol :lol :lol

I hate my Taylor wires. The jackets are 100% silicone, which makes them a) look really weird (glossy neon blue color), and b) prone to damage. Sure, they're fairly heat resistant, but it's easy to take chunks out of them. Assembly was also a PITA, and I've pulled a couple of the plug ends apart already. One of them I had to tweak with some pliers just to get it to stay on the spark plug, and even then it still doesn't stay all that well. (the plug ends are the ones that come already assembled)

Next time around, I think I'm going with Moroso wires. The only reason I didn't get MSD's was because they don't offer a 135* plug boot.

Tad, which version of the Taylors do you have?
