I've been running both Autolite 104's and 103's...no arcing problems. You might try pulling the boots off and applying a thin coating of dielectric grease around the boots .

Be sure all the wires are snapped onto the plugs. It doesn't sound right with new plugs and wires that would be arcing. Recheck all connections.

It's definitely something specific to your installation...I've always run Autolites in my car and never heard of anyone having a problem. Check the wire routing closely...

Ditto.... I use only AutolLite 103 or 104's running NA. They cause no problems at all.
