I'm almost embarassed to post these since I only replaced them strictly out of a preventative maintainence standpoint.

But they are NGK plug wires that I got from www.sparkplugs.com

The only problem is that my STB is red. Might have to paint it blue now..... maybe. Cosmetics are pretty low on my list of priorities.

I started the car to make sure everything was making good contact- that's about it. Probably won't drive it until tomorrow morning when I go to work.

I'll be swapping mine out today. I'll go from a back/silver engine bay to adding a bit of red. I'm not expecting a lick of difference.

The only time I've ever seen plug wires do anything was on my Saturn. And that was just because the factory plug wires were arcing to the valve cover- looked pretty cool in a dark garage. The car ran like poo. The engine struggled to get over 4000 rpms and was sputtering and mis-firing the whole way.

I drove my car today. It ran. Just as I had hoped. Probably nothing more to report on this issue for me.
