914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Plug wire options
Posted by: PanelBilly Oct 16 2017, 12:42 PM
I've been hearing a click click click recently and when I checked the running engine on Saturday I could see an arc coming from one of my plug wires and grounding on the valve cover. Inspection of the wire and boot didn't show anything unusual. Apart originates at joint between boot and wire.
So I'm thinking I need a higher quality wire. Don't remember the brand I bought but it cost me about $150 and was on the recommended list from MSD. Any suggestions ?

Give Kingsborne wires a call, down here in california. They can build you a set of wires for your engine in whatever color you want. It's Noth worth the hassle of trying to build your own. I run them on my car as a daily, and have never had issues with them, and the price i's way better than anyone else on the market.

I tried to figure out what they had on line and the spinning thinking icon never stopped going around. I'll try to give them a call tomorrow

Are you sure the wire wasn't loose on the plug?

This has been discussed for years around here. I use Magnecor. Has something new come along that's better? If so, how are they better?

I have Clewett, but I also run his crank-fire ignition system too.
Pretty nice stuff, and he's a great guy to work with.

Richard is indeed a fine person to deal with. He sells Magnecor as well but I like his wires with their abrasion, cut and fire resistant sleeve. Quality is 2nd to none.
