    Try Firecore 50 They are great. Will fit into Manton Tubes or standard dia. tubes

    After running the MSD wires for several years with quite a few irritations I gave the Moroso wires a try a few years ago and have been very happy with them. This year I called their tech line and found out they will custom make a set any way you want them. I was pleasantly surprised with the customer service.

    Moroso wires outlast everyones. We have had the same ones on over a year( Change the coil ever 5 races) Several others I know have had the same wires for over 3 years. Jerry Darien runs them on his a/f car and has run the same ones for 2 years.
    I run them with manton tubes

    I have been running the Taylor Thundervolts since they came out with them using a Mallory 6 amp and 8 amp on my AA/fuel altered. Never a problem, Great service from Taylor. Been using Taylor Wires since the 70's.

    Could someone please explain the procedure on checking plug wires with a VOM meter? The wires appear to be fine, I would much rather be proven one way or the other.Thank you

    get a multi meter and set it to "ohms", short the 2 leads together and it should read zero ohms. Then put a lead on each end of the wire you are testing and it will read the resistance in ohms. Most wires state how many ohms per foot so you will know if its OK or not. However, this is only part of it as the insulation may have broken down in which case the spark will 'leak' to earth or another plug wire if it gets the chance. Cheers
