Default Jegs spark plug wires, distributer, and coil

Hey all. I'm getting ready to order a new set of spark plug wires, distributer cap and rotor, and an ignition coil. I was looking through the Jegs catalog and website and noticed their Jegs labeled ignition products. They almost look exactly like the MSD stuff. What is your all's opinion on the Jegs labeled ignition products? Or should I stay with getting Taylor wires, and MSD distributer/rotor/coil?

make sure the wires have angled boots. if they are straight, chances are they will rub your headers and burn up quickly

As far as Jeg's cap and rotor it is pretty nice stuff. I have been using Ford parts for that and theirs is aluminum terminals and the Jegs is brass. The better part is the jegs stuff is cheaper. I used it on a customers car and so far it has done great, the next time I buy for myself that's what it will be.
For wires you can't beat the Anderson Ford Motorsport wires for price and quality.

My Jegs "upgrade coil" gave me all kinds of headaches

Took us forever to figure out it was sparking but sending all kinds
of phucked up feed back into the ignition system

When it comes to coils and distributors ALWAYS use OEM Ford Motorcraft
