the ones that are 50$
are they any good?
anybody have any problems with them?
the local shop quoted me at 80$ for their cheapest set, so i'm thinking of these to save money

 

I've used them for almost the life of my car. Never had any problems and you can get them for the LT1 also so you don't have to make them. Summit is about the cheapest you can get I think.

Another vote for them, and for Summit.

 

I have seen people on here say they have had problems with them, but I have been running the Taylor OVC setup without any problem.

 

My friend has the taylor OVC kit, and every single one of them is arcing and hte wires are only 6 months old.

 

2 years into my Taylors and zero problems within that amount of time. i've been a happy customer

arching issue, maybe the boots werent installed properly...

 

They are alright, ive burnt one but replaced it and routed it better with no problems. They look purdy and seem durable. I dont think your friend installed them right or used dielectric grease for all of them to arc. I did a diy wire without the crimper and have no troulbes.

 

I have had them fail on 2 different cars. Would never buy them again. I run Accel 300+ 8.8 wires with no problems.

 

There's going to be people who say they have had problems (and they have) and others who swear by the Taylors. I fall under the latter and my Taylor's with the vertical mount kit have been awesome. With MSD, Taylor, even Accel you cant really go wrong. A wire is a wire and prone to failing or succeeding just as much as any other wire. You can get the premade set for stock AND OVC mounting now as well. I prefer making my own because its the way I want it but hey, everyone's different. All in all, Taylor's good stuff and definitely go OVC...its way too convenient not to.

 

thanks guys, i'll be getting these
and camaroboy, i'm going stock since that's gonna be the location for them when i get my headers
thanks again

 

I have a brand new set on my stroker and they are crossfiring and arcing all over the place...But my first set was good so I dunno I must have gotten a bad batch or something.. This is with otvc mounting also

 

We use taylor on all our motors and love them, we always have cars on the dyno with ingintion problems, half the time it is other brands wires that are breaking down, the scope shows this very quickly. Personally I have used both taylor and MSD and was very happy with both, I have had the same set of MSD's on my mustang for 5 years and it still shows perfect continuity on the scope.

 

So are those OVC Taylors premade sets for the LT1's or you make them yourself?

my taylors that I bought were the universal lt1 ones that you have to put the boots on. Im not aware of any taylor wires that are precut for otvc
