I had the taylors and had all sorts of issues with them.

I ended up going with the accel 300+ and havent had anything bad to say about them yet. Good wires so far.

Also, you can send the taylor wires back to taylor with a letter explaining the failure, and they will send you a new set. At least they did with me. Then i sold them and almost broke even with the accels.

What kind of problem would you have with the Taylors?? I just put some in.

If you are going to route them like stock (not over the valve covers) Accel 9000s are good wires.

arcing, abnormally high resistence, and the rubber coating on them was chipping away. (chunks were missing in different places after 6 months or so).

BOWTYDE May 1, 2003 09:22 PM

Are you running heards?

ceramic coated hooker LTs. Had a set go bad in the stock location routing, and switched to OTT wires. Had another set go bad with that routing. Now using the accels in stock location without a problem. These were the 8mm spiro pro. People seem to have better luck with the 10mm race wires from taylor.

Same problem

Thats the same problem I'm having with my Taylors, but they're not chipping. They are only a month old. I guess I'm going to look into some accel's. Thhanks Guys for your input.
