    Testing Spark Plug Wires

    The plug wires on my 93 look to be the original wires and at 170K miles id think they surely need replacing. Called the ford dealer and they want $225 for new wires so I figured Id scour the junkyard for a better set. I pulled matching 8mm motorcraft wires from a 97 Continental for $8 and id...
