O like Jacobs or the more expensive Magnacore.

Good luck.....
 






MSD is another excellent choice. Only 50 ohms resistance per foot I believe.
 






Auto zone and other shops have lifetime guarantee plug wires for $30 or so. How can you go wrong?
 






Do not know this for a fact, but have been told by many people that new motorcraft wires are much improved over the old ones. Some people prefer them over aftermarkets. Worth looking into. Dont have to worry about fit issues either. good luck.
 






I agree with mossinman. Even with 300 hp I'm still using Motorcraft plug wires.
 






This is my third X and I have run Autolite wires on every one. They are $35 or so, lifetime warrenty, 8.8mm full silicone, and exact fit. Can get at almost any Auto parts store.
 






Thanks guys

Thanks for the options! now if there was more room! LOL Is it best to go from underneath?
 












I went over the top also with mine. Except for the one closest to the firewall on the passenger side. for that one I just turned the wheel all the way and I could reach it fine from underneath. I could have done mine in 15 minutes but it seemed like some of the were glued on the plugs. Boy did I bang up my hands:fire:
 






How do you guys get your spark plug boots to come off easy,I just changed my plugs today and I wrecked 3 of my wires:confused:
 






Try twisting the plug boots when removing them. Some wire kits come with it, but if not just dab a little bit of silicone inside the boots so they do not stick the next time.
 






thanks I will try that:D
 






Just make sure its silicone grease not the silicone that dries like the kind you make gaskets out of.
 






Cmon man give me a little credit:D
 












Thanks for your concern and help,it sucks that i destroyed 3 plug wires doing this.When I pulled number 4 plug it looked a little discolered anybody ever had this happen?What could it be?
