Default Good ign wire set?

What is a good ign wire set? I have the ford racing, and some wires are burnt from the header heat. What is a good set to buy that can tolerate high temperatures?

Taylor makes some very good wire sets, learn to route them away from the headers though.
I'd get the 'cut to fit' type set. More $$ but worth it.......

No, Taylor sells those, you just have to look for them. Maybe they call them'universal' wire sets.........

ive had 2 sets of msd wires, both were great. Ive had two sets of taylor wires, both were absolute garbage. i could have made a better set of wires with paper clips and chewing gum. first set, (8mm set), two wires burned right through (no where near a heat source, right by the dizzy boot), second set, (10.5mm race set), two wires lost all electrical conductivity from boot to boot for no reason and one wire had such high resistance an oem wire would have been better. needless to say, i will never buy taylor wires again.

I had only 1 set of bad taylor wires... but they were on the car when I bought it and really old.

sorry to hear you had such bad luck lucky, Ive had no problems with my newest set of them.
