Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Maintenance Time for Spark Plug wires

I just changed my plugs.Three plugs were right at or a little below .52 and 1 was .46 . The other 2 were good at .54. The worst of it was that the #6 wire was crushed between the UIM and valve cover. I guess the previous owner was a little careless when he reinstalled it. The wire didn't split, but it had some gouges from the plastic sleeve. I taped it up with some f4 tape till I can get the new ones in.

is there a question in there or were you just telling us about your car?

I know theres mixed feeling on the 8mm ires, but I've had four or five sets and never had a problem. I put two sets on the Zetec when i had it, I have a set on the 3L now, and theres a set on Griseldas Focus and da babies mama is running them on her Focus also. Never a problem.

Hey guys I just ordered another set of Ford 9mm racing wires for the Focus. For anyone who wants a set you can get them from Bill at Chicago Connecton. The phone number is 773-229-0655. He gets an A+++ in customer satisfaction. Great shipping and beats everyone elses price as far as I know.

I believe the Zetec wires are $34.95 and Duratec wires are $42.00 for the set. But call him for the latest prices. He's on the south side of Chicago if anyone wants to pick them up from him. He usually keeps some in stock, but I would call first to make sure he has them.

He's just as great in person as he is on the phone!!!

F.Y.I. They come in Red, Blue or Yellow and are the 9mm wires
