Sup Golden...

I was recently thinking about getting Magnacor wires...But, should I be worried based on your current problems?

Did you notice any difference with the wires? Not necessarily in power but at least with engine "smoothness"?

Also, any pics of your engine bay with the wires in ?

The engine did smooth out a little with the plugs and IK22's and the Magnacors. But I got the 2% overdrive pulley at the same time so I was mainly feeling that.

As far as the plug wires go, there is nothing wrong with them. They work great. The problem I am having is with the way I routed them. One of the sleeves/sheaths are rubbing up against another wires rubber boot on the coil side of the wire and it's wearing it away. So, I am sending it back to get the boot replaced. They said I could do it myself but it can get a little tricky beacuse it's tight and it's easy to pull the terminal off. So better safe than sorry.

I might have a pic at home.
