I just replaced my 1.7 plug wires with Fyrebraid plug wires. Just got back from a test run. Can't believe how much better it runs! Plus I like the red wire look too! They look great!

I have added picture above. I like how the wires stand up away from the heat of engine.

I'm looking at buying new plug wires soon, where do you get these and how much are they. If you say they are worth the money, they're probably more than usual.

I see you live in Power Springs. I live in Clayton, Georgia. If you are ever up this way, stop by for a beer and we can talk teeners!

I have 73 1.7 original owner.

Sounds great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm always here, let me work out the issues I'm having now before any longish trips though.

I am sorry the title was misleading. Here is another picture from the distributor side.

Are they spiral wound wires, or just standard core wires? Are they larger diameter then stock?
If there was a change it may have just been you needed new wires. Whats the difference between these and other aftermarket wires?

Hi Zach

There is no doubt that I needed new wires! I like the fact they are stiff and don't just lay on the engine.

To answer all your questions, here is the link to their website. I am sure it can answer all your tech questions.
