[Shotimes] Taylor Spark Plug Wires

[alfitz@alfitz.com]

Steve,

I read Magnecor's page on plug wires and this is what I gleaned;

They think all plug wires are SHIT except their own.
All designs are inferior, except their own.
Carbon wires are the worse (FORD WIRES ARE CARBON)

I'm not saying that Taylor wires are the BEST in the world, but they have
performed and outlasted the FORD wires for us and they are less expensive.
Even Magnecor's biased web page puts the spiral wound wires ahead of carbon
wires.

Less money, lasts longer, performs at least as well as OEM, and comes in 3
color choices.

 Sounds good to me.
