a quick search here on Magnecore will show you ;-)

Is this for a T-IV, a flat-6, a Chevy, or what?

I still think the answer is Magnecore, but give us a little more to go on...

I agree, Magnecors are a good value.

I've had the Magnacore and Beru. I like the Beru better. I had some funky missing full throttle in 5th at 4k plus rpm, never could nail down the problem. Once I switched to the Berus it was gone.

This is why the application is important.

one thing I like about the Magnecore for /6 applications is that the connectors and air seals fit, work, and don't embrittle like the German rubber seems to. But I've never used them on a T-IV, so I can't tell what those'd be like. I assume they're different between the 2,0 and the others...

I need a set of wires for the Subie and I'll try a set of Magnecore's there. I'd be astonished if there were Subie Beru's ;-)

Magnacores did NOT work well for me either. They would not connect securely to the plug. I'm back to good ol Bosch, but I should try the Beru ones.

You might check with lowbudget.com, AJ Simms, he's pretty straight and has the best quality parts for good prices. I know he has the type 1 wires not sure about type 4.
