starter and spark plug wires

[dakonthemountain]

Hi guys,

I am getting ready to replace my spark plug wires (they are 10 years old) with new ones and found these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MSD-Ignition-..._12?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&carId=001 Do any of you have these or ?... I understand MSD is a reputable brand and I *think* these are the same color as factory?.... Also, what spark plugs do you use/recommend?

Starter: I have found this one here: http://www.amazon.com/Beck-Arnley-1...s_3?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&carId=001 I think I will buy it but wanted any opinions/experience/further recommendations.

Thanks guys!
Dak

MSD is a really good company.
The starter I don't know maybe some body else can chime in on that.
But I think you could find a better price.

I hear MSD plug wires are great...never used them though. I've used Accel and MotorCraft before...but the ones I like the best are from O'Reilly's called Omnispark. I think they're waaaaay easier to handle...the end that is on the spark plug is like a frickin tree stump, waaay easier to get a handle on, and I've never had the wire or the clip pull through or fall out of the boot. Pretty cheap too:

It appears they have the wrong full size pic of the wires but here:

As for starters...I go with the motorcraft reman'd starters from O'Reilly's...They're a little pricey at about $95 without the core charge (another $40), but I just make sure to the get the lifetime warranty...never have to pay for a starter again. They don't have a link or price for it on their page, because you have to order it from their store. But I've had one on Red now for about 4-5 years, no problems...always a quick turnover, and never had to worry about any heat soak either.

dont buy msd wires... buy taylor, moroso or livewires (but they are huge). msd makes some good stuff, but their wires arent the best at all. dont buy their chrome coils either because they are a made in china junk product.

I've always used Taylor wires for stock applications, and Whittaker wires on anything that has headers. (ceramic coated boots)
Never had problems with either one.
