Spark plug wires
Spark plug wires
Has anyone on this forum used any other type of spark plug wires and attachments on the plug themselves? I'm think of buying 8mm spark plug wire and boots with connectors and make my own. Kind of old school, but it is still just a motor and these wires were good enough for all my other vehicles. Comments and reason are greatly appreciated .

Don't specifically know for sure but old school may open you up to high frequency interference with the electronics/radio. Were you considering copper wire runs for your wires? Just saying!

I guess I'm cheap, I just have a hard time paying the amount of money they are asking for a new set of wires. I can make a set for half the asking price, that is as good if not better. I'll research the wires I would like to buy for high frequency interference with the electronics/radio. Radio should be no problem, new Pioneer radio. Build in, to stop that kind of interference, from plugs and wires.

Hi djohn14296
That sounds like a good idea. I haven't tried it, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. Give it a go! I'm sure a set of good quality 8mm leads made to the right length would be much better than some of the crappy sets that I've bought (that were supposed to fit and were a waste of money).
