Which brand of wires is better?
Meaning spark plug wires on a 91 355 tpi camaro z28. Has edelbrock tes headers and y pipe, k&N filters, cutout,airfoil and hooker catback.
Thinking of either MSD or Accel. Which is better for application? Will get cap and rotor of the brand also.
thanks

I used to like Accel until I pulled my wires off and found a couple of 'em burned through.

MSD's are the best as far as resistance. However I had an issue with them not fitting on the tower correctly and I had to trim the boot on the Distributor cap end to get them to seat properly. Therefore when I replaced them I put in Accel wires and I had no issues with them.

I have a set of Taylor spark wires, which are cut to length on one end. This way you can run the spark wires to suit your specific needs, like keeping them away from hot header pipes. I ran mine up to the top of the valve covers, then down the lengthof the covers to the dizzy.
