Plug wire shorting out
« on: April 10, 2010, 09:22:28 pm »
I need to replace my plug wires as 1 is shorting out do to the sharp bend on the holders.  I have a high output MSD ignition, do I need special wires and cap??  It's got some spendy wires on now, I just don't know if they're necessary.

And here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of

many of the higher end plug wires come with unlimited warranty.  Take 'em back for replacement.

Definitely run good wires, they'll last you 100k if you keep em protected
