clint78z Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I have a set of decent Taylor 8mm wires, however the damned ends on most of the wires I have seen are crap. That thin brass is junk, I try real hard to crimp them right but after a few installs the ends either breal or come off. Anybody have any suggestions on wire sets for the L6. It is looking like MSD or Jacobs, no friggin way I am paying for magnecor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim78zt Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Clint, I've been running a set of NGK wires for almost 270,000 miles (yes, same set) and I may change them someday (got a second new set in the garage) but they have a lifetime warranty (I think they mean my lifetime!!).

clint78z Posted September 7, 2001 Author Share Posted September 7, 2001 Got a set of Jacobs for $63 for custom fit ones. The terminals look better and boots are bonded on. They have a lifetime warranty, the MSD ones were double the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 The MSD 8.5s are pretty nice, and have good reviews in the magazines. I like Magnecors - I have them on my Eclipse and they are very nice and LOW resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 MSD 8.5 rule but the factory crimps MUST BE DOUBLE CHECKED .I've seen too many not right . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted September 8, 2001 Share Posted September 8, 2001 Agreed on the crimps. Also, after making your own crimps on the distributor end, be darned sure to test the resistance of the wire. One of my crimps messed up the core and the resistance was higher than their specs included in the instructions. Luckily I had cut them a bit long and was able to cut an inch or two off that wire and redo the end and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
