Spark plugs/wires for stock 94z

Iv read through the seach button and iv come up with most people saying to buy these

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Is the gap etc all good on these? Also would I notice any gain with a more "high end" ngk spark plug?

Im also looking for some wires, I was thinking MSD any suggestions?
Also what size wires I notice you can get 8.0mm 8.5mm and like 10.5mm?
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku How about these wires?

Those are what I am using, they are a good plug. Just keep in mind they will require quicker changes as compared to a platinum or iridium plug. As for the gap, you'll have to check it with the gap checker tool to confirm it is to the specs of your engine. The MSD set is good. I have used the Taylor Spiro-Pros and have been very happy with them as well.

Ok so the 8.5mm is what I need then, (was what the link was to).
Ok ill be buying these tonite then, the car has started missing and I know it has not had a "tune up" in atleast 11k miles (except for oil) so hopefully this fixes it. Thanks again 2000GTP seems like you post in every thread I make with good info.

The 8.5mm wires will work. You may have to grind your stock looms a little bit to fit them in there though.

Ok, the coil is pretty easy to change right (like every other coil).

I don't think the OP has headers though. Agreed, though, it is a good setup if you have long tube headers.

that is my fault, i just assume thats one of the first upgrades everyone does lol

If you don't have longtubes, then w/e will work fine.
at work, we quite often use accel wires, and they work awesome

Its amazing how I go to change plugs and wires then the buy list just gets bigger I believe this is what im ordering

Definently
Plugshttp://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Wireshttp://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Most likely
MSD blaster coilhttp://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Thinking about getting while its all apart
Ignition Modulehttp://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Tell me what you guys think about the ignition module, should I replace it while its apart or wait?
When the car misses it seems to do it in the lower rpms (but its not a constant miss just sometimes.

To the guy above, iv been trying to buy an exhaust for half a year, but something ALWAYs comes up lol.

There would be no advantage in changing the ICM if yours is working. It's not a performance mod.

Thank you, that was my thoughts. That would not cause it to miss would it? (I don't know exactly what that part does)
