I like the Taylors...I have had a friend that used the MSD and now he is using the Taylors. He says he likes the Tayors better too.

The Taylors (I was told) have a better spark plug boot than the MSD. I was told the MSD have been known to break if you try to tug on them too hard (off the plug). I have had taylors for about 5 months now and are very pleased with them.

Hope that helps,
Claude

i like my taylors, they are inexpensive and seem to be good quality. plus they fit into the stock wire looms which makes routing much easier.

I was going to go w/the MSD wires but I found out they don't fit in the stock looms so I think I'll be going with the Taylors. The only thing I don't like is that I can only choose between red and blue wires

I personally would go with MSD wires. I had problems with my Taylor wires arching.

I had Taylor and now I currently have MSD. I like my MSD wires better especially for OVC applications.

Another vote for MSD Custom Kit (Over the Valve Cover Application). Never had a problem since I have changed from Taylor.

im not looking for an OVC kit......just the cheapest replacement kit.


what probs did you have with the taylors, since everyone else seems to like them and have no probs.
