i was looking in the "search" for plug wires and found this in an old thread... http://www.magnecor.com/magnecor1/truth.htm after reading this all i can say is...damn!!! ... that is more info. than anyone needs to know about ...plug wires... so what ya'll think a good set of wires would be? ...Jamies' friend Frank...
I didn't even look at the link, but I bet it's the one where they go on and on about how ohms don't matter in a plug wire. That has been discussed to death on other boards and I tend to agree with the majority view that ohms DO matter. An electrical engineer ran tests on several brands and found that (for our purposes here) MSDs were about the best conductive wire. There were better brands, but they don't make them for Mavericks, so I don't mention them. Magnecores did well for conducting, however they failed miserably on voltage drop... they had something like 2000 or 3000 ohms per foot of wire is the reason. Stock wires (GM) were found to have about 500 ohms per foot. Most of the best wires had under 100 ohms per foot. Some were less than 1 ohm per foot!!! After all the tech stuff, they went on to (in very technical terms) rebuke Magnecores claims one by one. Interesting discussion, but way out of my league. All I know is the plug gap is where you need all your energy, and the less energy lost getting there, the better. The gap is a huge ohm drop, but that is the destination, other losses are premature.

i have the 9mm fords. have had good luck with them. they're even numbered for each cylinder. but then again don't take my word for it frank. my car only goes about 5 miles a year.:Handshake FFD
