What is up with my plug wires?

I have talor plug wires.. 1 is burnt but I riged it up to work untill I get a new set in.. but I was looking at the rest of them and it looks like you can see the spark flow on the outside of the wire. Looks cool but I dont think this is a good thing. All the wires are doing it. Any ideas?They are kinda old but only one is burnt.I was going to move it with my hand too see what happend but I chickend out . I have heard mix reviews about talor plugs....

Any info will be great thanks

If you can see the spark on the outside that means they're arcing. You definately need to replace the wires. All of them are arcing? Man, you really got all the life out of those.

Accels are good, I used em for like 2 years and never had a problem.
I love my new MSD superconductors though.
and everyone on here loves them except one guy I think.

Cool

Might remove the heat shields.Stay stock wires,unless you are running headers.(Replace the coil wire every 6 months.)Your plugs are trying to find a ground,and they are doing this by climbing up a spark plug with few ribs,and going into outer space.The heat shields pick this up.I could be wrong as well.Some people like a light show when they pop the hood open at night.But really,this robs power.Beer oclock now,My02.

I am running OVC wires and no sleves.. I plan on putting sleaves on it but they are made of fiberglass or something none metalic.
