Bill Jenkins does them for $45 SHIPPED...
Just thought you ought ta know.
Bill is THE MAN !
---------------------------------------------
I talked to him over a week ago, he quoted $45.00 & $5.00 shipping ($50.00), then said he didn't have a source since he moved to 'Vegas, and would call me back later that day, but never did. I found Chicago Connection less than 10 miles from my house.

Yeah, but if you buy a second set at the much lower price, you can cost dollar average the two and really save some money! :rolleyes:

That's a fax number. You got a voice number?
I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby.
There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there.
You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one.
How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have?
You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!

I found Chicago Connection less than 10 miles from my house. Yep, Bill IS THE MAN. He just hooked up me up with my wiring harness. I just asked him about the wires. And yes, he's in process of locating his nearest Motorcraft Performance distributor. He'll let us know when he's up to full capacity. He's still awaiting his high-speed line there as well as few other technicalities. Give him a chance...he's only been up & running for a week now

Out of curiosity, what is the gauge and the resistance on these wires? For instance, for my '73 Bronco I use MSD Plug Wires. They are 8.5mm and have 40-50 ohms per foot of resistance. As I understand it, this allows me to take advantage of a more powerful alternator as well as a more powerful distributor and stronger coil. This all equates to more efficient power and in turn better gas mileage. For comparison, I think I paid $89.95 for a universal set that I had to cut and crimp myself.
Also, does anyone know what the stock gauge and resistance are for a non-SVT 2.5L Duratec? It's a Cougar, but I would imagine Cougar and non-SVT Countour are the same.

Ford Racing website ( www.fordracing.com) will give you the part #. They list these wires as 9mm, but don't say exact resistance, they just say low resistance wires.
