Spark plug wire suggestions
I recently changed my spark plugs, maybe a week ago... and ive been incredibly agrivated because my car has been missing ever since, i checked the order and reseated all of the boots.. and nothing, finnally yesterday i noticed a ton of cracking on the #2 and 8 plug wires, so im guessing they are very old and need to be changed..
Ive decided to order some new plug wires for the car.. but im wondering if anyone has some good suggestions? I have the 350 TPI, and all of those damn smog pump fittings make it a little tricky to squeeze your hand in there, so i dont want to accidentaly order wires that are gonna make that job harder..
I was currently looking at
JEGS 8.0mm Red Hot Pow'r Wires
they seem to be pretty quality, id usually trust the TPIS guys, but im not paying $20 extra for those. I also dont know if i should order the ones for the Camaro/Firebird 1993-97 5.7L LT1, or SB-Chevy Truck 1985-95 5.0L/5.7L, because they dont seem to offer a wire selection for 87 camaro's..

Or you can just go into your local Napa and ask for a set specific to your car they will usually have one in stock. Then you don't have to pay shipping.

I'd also recommend a set specific for your car. Universal sets may be a bit cheaper but the wires are always the wrong length which will always cause problems. Any brand of 8mm or 8.5mm wire set will do.
