Consensus on Plug Wires... #1557069 04/24/06 06:59 PM

OP BCSVT CEG\'er B Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 143 Charlotte, North Carolina	I was wondering if there is a general consensus on the best plug wires. Both quality, dependibility, and performance. I've seen some say that the Ford Racing 9mm wires have given them some problems, but I would assume the large carrying capacity would result in the best performance. Any consensus on the best wires for the 2.5L Duratec? Thanks in advance. David The greatest stealth car ever...

The Ford Racing wires seem to be hit or miss, with more hits than misses. I've had the Ford Racing wires for 3 years and had no problems. Mark 2000 Black CSVT 3.0L Hybrid - 206fwhp & 195fwtq

I bought a set of AutoZone wires when I was troubleshooting my engine - man, are they junk. I had to take 2 back because they were made wrong and they are difficult to install in the coil pack because the ends are malformed. The Magnecores popped in and out. Anyone want to buy some used 95 V6 parts? I have an ignition control module and 2 O2 sensors...
