I am looking to purchase a new set of assembled spark plug wires from an area parts store (e.g., NAPA, Oreillys, Advanced Auto) and would like a recommendation. What brand do you like the best?
What's under the cap doesn't matter. The Belden sets are designed for OEM routing with a OEM-type cap. They can be a bit of a PITA to fit as they don't have any 'extra' cable but look 'neat' once installed. Most so-called 'custom' sets have too-long cables and it's tough to make them look good without shortening some of them.
“Best” is definitely subjective, but I would like to hear from those who are more experienced than myself. I am currently running the Autozone 1600’s and am not happy with them. After one season of use, the are falling apart (metal breaking at the cap). I would like to use an already assembled set if possible. I will take a look at the Beldens, but have heard that the wires are blue?
