Ok Guys Im gonna be doing headers on my 89 formula Lo3 as soon as the headers come in from Jet-Hot. I plan on changing the plugs and doing a full tune up while the manifolds are off. any reccomendations on plugs, coil, cap, wires. anythign else i shold be doing?

 

delco for plugs, taylor for wires.

cap and rotor i have had very little problem with so i can't really comment.

 

AC Delco Plugs, MSD or Moroso wires, MSD coil and MSD or Acell cap and rotor. Gap the plugs to .035's.

Use stage 8 locking header bolts and percy's aluminum header gaskets.

msd wires and coil... one note.. you might want to get the protector sleves for the wires b/c of the increased heat with the headers, dont want to go melting wires... i think they cose about 40 bucks or so. but beats wasting a good set a wires

 

I agree with the AC Delco plugs. I agree with the Taylor wires. Any aftermarket distributor cap and rotor with the brass terminals and a MSD coil should do the trick.:rockon:

 

what are protector sleeves for the wires ?? should i get a set of wire looms for them or is that somethign else??

htese are what i have...

 

I use the Accel 300+ race plug wires. They're expensive, but they last a long time. As for plugs...AC Delco or even Autolite Copper Core. I currently have a set of NGK's in my Jeep, but they are there because that's what the parts store had on hand for my engine (AMC V8). I'll be switching them out to a set of AC Delco plugs when they finally go bad.

 

i suggest taylor wires, i have used the other, and the msd's and other seem to get britle after time, the taylors hold up like non of the others myself, or many others i know have used. the terminals seem to stand up to headers just fine, they are pretty heavy duty.
