I'm looking to change out my spark plugs and spark plug wires. Any suggestions on what I should go for? I've been looking at the MSD 8.5 Super conductors.

What is better? Taylor Cable or MSD
Also, E3 or NGK spark plugs

Ok the thicker the wire the longer it takes to burn through when it gets on the header, lol, size dosent matter since the size is insulator not conductor!

just get the ones in your budget and just use plain jane autolite plugs!

order the Ford Racing 9mm wires from summitracing.com they are about $41, and are better than the MSD wires

and if you still have stock heads... you should be running autolite 25's

get the wires with the lowest ohm rating but with good rfi suppression, i use bosch platinum +4 spark plugs, but everybody will have their own opinion on which spark plug to use.

I concur. That's what I run, low cost, quality parts.
