I run Taylor Spiro-Pro wires....

8mm is fine as long as they are a good quality low Ohms wire....

Lol I guess I'll look into the different parts and compare them.

But I put along MSD parts, Taylor wires, and Motorcraft copper plugs.
Summit racing.

160 shipped I got the part numbers if anyone wants them

I have been told that there is no real reason to replace the coil just swapping out the plug wires will free up more spark along with the re gaping.

I think I will have to do a build thread on this for the I6 engine and Honestly if i do a build you know it is going to be cheap and under or close to 100 bucks easy I think the most i ever spent at one time was for my exhaust system that was 179 bucks

so far im thinking Taylor coil warp plug wires
Motor craft coppers gaped at .50
not sure about the cap and rotor but copper should be best.

well actually the MSD cap are brass, anything with brass will do as people aim more toward those.

but i have a cheap auto part ignition coil, as i changed it when i bought the truck. also i figured just change it, add some red under the hood and take off that all rusted one.

ahh alright well there's a Malory one i think i might go with along with there plug wires, the spark plugs just the same ones i got but new and regapped to .50 and see how it goes.

this might seem a dumb *** question but should i advance the timing via the crank or the distributor?
