Stu:
Saw your posting and thought maybe I would offer my opinion. As far as
the plugs are concerned, there are probably better plugs out there but I
have always stuck with Autolites. I'm sure I don't know as much as some of
these other guys that regularly post here, but I have always gotten good
service out of Autolite plugs (and no, I don't work for Autolite).
I do, however, have a strong recommendation as far as plug wires go.
The
best set of wires that I have ever used for street driving is the "Belden"
brand. These are available at most NAPA stores. The reason I like them so
much is that they seem to last a long time and THEY FIT!! I have tried
several sets of plug wires for 260/289 engines and the Beldens are the only
ones that seem to be cut to fit perfectly on one of our motors. I ran them
exclusively on my '65 Shelby after the reproduction solid core wires I
bought started creating a light show under the hood (that's another
story...last set of those I will ever try). You might try the Belden wires
and see what you think. Good luck!
