Goin with Pertronix...I love Pertronix stuff, so I stick with it.

Are they a subsidiary of someone else? Never heard of em.

Don't think so...here's their link:

Yeah I got some for the 72 and they aint the cheapest but what I like about em is that theyre already put together unlike the accel ones ive had in the past and had to crimp em myself and it sucked.

 

[LEB Ben]

Agreed on that Dan...another reason I go with Pertronix plugs...already assembled.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Give us a review when ya get em on.

Mmmmmmm...I dunno, you know how the saying goes, "true gear heads are NEVER done with their projects." But for you I'll make an exception and you can expect delivery at STF:30 on kissmyazzday in the year 20whenhellfreezes over.

I think he mentioned something about cost... lol Taylors are not exactly inexpensive

I have new plug wires for my truck on my list of things to buy/do. So, what is a ballpark cost for a set for a 351M/400?

Well fine, im kid napping thunder for ransom. Or red...

WIN!

For a good set $40...for 8mm+ about $70+, for chain store house brand $20.

I hate you. That is all.

 

[Jolly Green]

I thought it should be in that range. I'm checking out the company's link you put up now. Thanks!!

 

[Truckin4life]

Meh, i think you hate the fact that im a legal genious and thought of this plan all on my own!

I tell you what, you put that new 521 stroker in thunder, ill take it break it in.
You can toy with my truck and do what ever upgrades you please.
I will return thunder in top working condition with a fresh detail in return for your services to my truck...

Sounds like a fair trade to me!

Guess I'll start looking into a tune-up for my 05... it's at 61k. I've already dumped a buttload of money into her recently though. May just let her hit 70-75k before doing it lol

 

[Truckin4life]

Im undecided as to what i am goin to do with my truck at the moment...

You may not need it yet! I was going to change plugs in my 2003 Ranger a couple months ago until I looked in the book. Ford calls for the plugs to be replaced at 100K! It only has 73K on it now. It runs without missing a beat, so I'm not going to worry about them yet.

Hmm I'll be damned...then I'm gonna pocket the cash and wait

 

[Truckin4life]

I sure as heck dont wait that long, but then again i flog my truck like a red headed step child.

FYI...those plugs I was going to buy, not happening now. Online said they were compatible, I cross referenced with the catalog and that said they were for points style dizzys. So now I'm either gonna go MSD 8mm's or Taylor 8mm's, because the right Pertronix plug wires for me were $53 and still 7mm. So I'm leaning towards the MSD plugs because they have a straight boot and come assembled.

What's the price difference between MSD/Taylor?
