79616, PLUG WIRE QUESTIONS??
Posted by coolwhip, Aug-25-04 08:56 AM
Ok i used the SEARCH!!! abd could find any relevant info on this. i need new spark plug wires. my engine is stock, so im not gonna spend money for after market wires which i dont need. my local auto parts store has Valucraft plug wires with a 2 yr warranty for 10.99, Original Equipment with a lifetime warranty for 31.99, or Bosch with a lifetime warranty for 40.00. Keeping in mind im super fucking broke right now, which would be the best ones to get? im thinking the OE ones, but if they are the same as the 10.99 ones i would much rather buy those. tell me what you think. thanks

I'd just buy the stock ones or wait until you can afford some accels/magnecores/msd whatever you pick, your engines stock and plug wires aren't going to make a dramatic difference.

What topic words were you using in the search and didn't come up with any info??? I've seen a few threads on plug wires recently. Try searching a little harder for what your looking for.

I would buy the O.E. ones with the lifetime warrenty, so if you ever had to replace them again, they would be free!

id buy to $11 ones for 2 reasons:

1) they are probably identical in function and build as the OEM ones.
2) they are cheaper, and its easier to keep a recipet fot two years as opposed to a lifetime.

IMO
all wires will perform just fine while they are new. the more expensive ones will last longer and perform better, longer.
If you are interested, Magnecor has some interesting perspectives on their web site.

while your stock, enjoy cheap replacement parts, you will want higher performance/quality once you start adding on more hp
