I've seen some posts regarding wire sets for 5.0's, but most seem to be for pre-'99 5.0's (I'm not sure in what year the change was made...maybe in '98).
There's clearly a big difference in the types of wires. The guy at the parts store sold me a set of Ford Racing wires, and assured me that they'd fit.
It didn't take me too long to realize that they wouldn't. They must be for pre '99 or pre '98 5.0's. No way in hell these will fit.
The wires on my engine have 'snap-on' caps, and the two rear plug boots on each bank have aluminum heat sheilds on them.
Has anybody had experience with aftermarket custom-fit wire sets for post '99 5.0's (maybe post '98's; I don't know for sure).
I've seen a few posts about Jacobs, and Taylor Spiro, but I can't seem to find a reference for my specific year/engine.
Thanks,
J.P.
