Autolite Wires?

Gonna be replacing my wires tomorrow and called autozone today to ask what brands they have.

I just need the stock wires, nothing more, and they said they had Autolites for $48 I think

Is this a reputable brand or should I order online or somwhere else?

Why do people use the 8.5 MSDs

seems like more trouble than its actually worth for no gain?

And now I have a choice

Duralast or Autolites

The Duralasts are only $35

If its just stock and you want it to run/tune it up it doesn't matter. I think they offer a warrenty on some of those...so I wouldn't waste money on hi dollar stuff.

Also didn't you make a few post about possibly selling the car.......I wouldn't waste anymore money than you need to

The autolite will be fine for what you need, also they come with a lifetime warrenty.

I used the Autolites on my 94Z about 2.5 years ago... They work fine and routed through the stock looms...

It isn't an easy job to change the plug wires using the stock looms... Do them one at a time and have lots of patience...
