From what I was reading, Fram owns Autolite  and Motorcraft spark plugs are made by Autolite.

That's terrible.

Anyways, i use either the 43ts or 45ts AC delco and stock delco plug wires.

Alright, so I don't really need the MSD crap, how about these wires instead? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BEL700251

From what I can tell, they're made in the USA, the ACDelco wires are China crap. I have an aversion to buying anything made in China and I try to avoid it -_-

MSD is far from crap. BD's point was if you are not running an MSD system, MSD wires are pointless. Run AC Delco plugs as he suggested and you will be fine

I didn't mean they were crap, it was just a catch all, lol. I may just go with the ACDelco plugs, I hear they're made by NGK, though. Anyone have any thoughts on those Napa wires, though? The NGK plugs may be made in Japan, or they may be made in Virginia. The Napa wires may be made in the USA, I'm not sure. May go look today if they're open.

#1 rule is NEVER run cheap ignition system components. Generally speaking if you buy the quality brand from any auto parts store you will be fine.

Just installed new ac/delco platinum plugs since the new crate engine went in like 3 or 4 yrs ago,  it seems.  (Has it been that long)?

Anyway, seems even more smoother and faster. The old r45ts' were gettin a little tired. But they came out pretty clean.
