Accel Extreme 9000s are crap, the coating just burned off and then burned through the boot, and yes they were properly routed. I was shown the differences between several top brand name wires hooked up to coil and then arched to ground or a spark plug ... anyway, then was shown a blue set of wires, they were from Jacobs Electronics .. I never heard of them but when he hit the juice that spark was a minimum of twice the intensity. He explained they have the lowest resistance of any plug wires out there.

He convinced me so I tried a set for my '93 Z28 and there was a noticeable difference. Well when I built up my 84 pickup and added the wires I got, what seemed to be, better mileage.

I'll only use Jacobs wires now... they can be found at mr gasket dot com.

I'll agree there are better wires out there but my Accel Extreme 9000s lasted for years on a blower motor with headers. With stock wires, I'd burn through those in about 100 miles. Just my personal experience.

I think I'll go with the Taylor Spiro Pros and see how I like them and I'm going to try to keep them in the stock location, hopefully the hookers don't melt them.

Just keep them secured away from the header primaries with cable ties and you should be fine.

Good to hear. I'm trying to keep my engine compartment looking as stock as possible, but I guess it doesn't really matter since its going to be hard to cover up the idle with the 306

The lope of the CC306 and a pair of coated headers may be a little hard to pass off as stock appearance.

Its just that bad gas that I keep getting LOL makes it idle like crap, but it cleans up at about 2500 RPMs HAHA
