Anyone have any expereince with using Federal Mogul spark plug wires on a 5.0L? I got them since the dealer was closed and I desperately needed replacement wires. Federal Mogul, as I've read, is the OEM manufacturer of Champion, Moog, Anco, and a bunch of other brands. The replacement set looks ientical to the originals, with the exception of no numbering on the wires (Federal Mogul uses Belkin hi temp wires), and the heat shields are heat cloth instead of aluminum flex hose. I damaged one replacement wire (like an idiot), and dissected it to see if it used identical internal stuff (like carbon fibers instead of metal windings, etc), and it was identical right down to the clips, boots, insulation and core.

Any comparison with other brands, Motorcraft, or long term problems would be appreciated.
