Default plug wires

i'm gonna be replacing my plug wires tomorrow, i was just wondering what you guys all use and whether you are happy with them or not.

i'm pretty local to the Mustangs Unlimited warehouse in connecticut, and they have the FRPP 9mm blue wires for like $42

fitment problems, cross-firing, i'm looking to avoid all problems.

also if anyone could suggest a good wire holder...

and what is the exact part number for autolite 25's? i think its 2025 but i'm not sure

I'm running the accell 8.8 race wires- black w/ 90 deg boots. Also I robbed a trick from the sprinters around here and use zip ties for wire seperators. Works slick as sh*t and you can make them in any size and configuration to suit your needs! Color options are endless and you can change them if you don't like then for pennies instead of $30-$40. Keeps them separated nicely and holds them securely!

The ford racing wires are a good choice and you shouldn't have any crossfiring going on with the motor. Crossfiring is usuallya problem on motors that end with a 7 8 firing order.


I am running the stock Motorcrafts, but the FRPP are top notch.

alright then, i'll be picking up the FRPP wires tomorrow along with some autolite plugs, and a new cap & rotor.
i got a pretty serious oil burning issue when i nail it, i have a feeling that my pcv screen is clogged, so i might as well get that too.
