Thread: Spark plug wires

  1. #1

    Spark plug wires

    Well im in need of some spark plug wires and i have a few questions. I was looking on summits web site and i was look at some taylor wire. should i just stay with the 8mm or go up to the 10.4 mm? And does the thicker gauge mean i can run a wider gap on the plug?

    I run Taylor 8mm and NGK tr55's I can't remember the gap on those though. I did notice a slight increase. I'm not much help on wether you can run a wider gap with the bigger wire, maybe someone else will chime in. The Taylor's are top notch product.

    SoOoO, what is the benefit of going with better/larger wires? Reduced tendency of plug fouling and cylinder misfires or something else?

    supposed to be a stronger spark. Midwest has the 10.4mm taylors, and i must say, I had full intent of buying them UNTIL I saw his. I will be going with the 8mm MSD, they seem to 'snap on' much better.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    they have a 'girlie grib' on the coils/ plugs. I like PUSHING, feeling the snap, know they are on, his you barely push, feel a tiny snap, and that's it. He loves them...I just wasn't a fan. I want to know they are on all the way.
