Are these spark plug wires any good? They look great.

[OchoMarko]

I need to change my spark plug wires soon and came up on these on Fleabay. They look great and the description sounds great, and the price is right. Has anybody used these before?

Cheap junk. I got a set of those for my 93. Ya see that fat part on the tip of the end that you stick on the plug, first time you pull the wirr out, that fat parts gonna stay in the plug bore. The clips that lock the other end onto the coil pack also snap off so it doesn't secure very well to the coil.. just stay away from them.

Motorcraft or MSD are what you want

By the way, the ones you're looking at there are called Vision by VMS..pretty..but junk

I just replaced my Motorcraft wires last weekend..... Just over a year old and had one go bad. Replaced them with Duralast lifetime wireset....

As opposed to the Motorcrafts that took a **** after a year and less then 15K miles.... Yeah.

Any Motorcraft wire ive ever purchased had a warranty.. yours didn't?

 

[SATURN5]

Yeah, 12 month.

Yeah, 12 month.

And what exactly happened to this wire to make it bad ?

I have had my MSD's on Red since 2006. It was like the first mod I ever did to her.

i ran live wires screamin demon coil packs and their wires, they are the absolute best possible. but expensive. measured their output at 85kv.

Internal break somewhere. No external damage, but a meter shows open circuit.

well that's debatable. but definitely overkill for a stock engine.
