Default solid core spark plug wires.

Hi guys. I am having some engine trouble and have found that my spark plug wires are not giving me much umph any more. I have been looking at new wires that have a solid core, but have heard a lot about them interfering with electrical systems. Do the wires put out a lot of "noise" or is it unnoticeable? and if they do put out a lot, is there a way to cancel out the noise?

Solid core will be overkill. If you want something more performance grab like msd wires or something. That's plenty

If your not worried about the wow factor of name brands and want to save some cash I'm sure the standard replacements from napa/autozone/whatever would do you just fine. Prolly would notice a difference between them and the big name brands anyhow.

Ford Racing makes a set that you can get for about $42 from Summit.
Really good wires for the money, just keep them away from the headers..........
