Post Duralast plug wires

Went to Autozone for plugs-n-wires. They had Motorcraft plugs but not for the wires. I went with Duralast and now I am reading those wires have a bad track-record for dependability and possibly for a hight amount of resistance....I am keeping the reciept and will let you know how they go. I have a 2,000 mile trip I will be going on in a couple of weeks.

Don't install them. Tell them you changed your mind.

Default Ultimate Plug Wires:

Get a set of Magnecor wires.....it'll be the last set of wires you will ever buy (for that engine or similar), but be prepared for sticker shock.
