[Shotimes] AC DELCO WIRES RECOMMENDED?

[Shylo McKinsey]

I'll second the Taylor Wires. When I pulled the wires
last spring, they were original 1990 motorcraft wires.
Had them tested at the dealer (a friend of a friend
works in the service department, got me my DIS $80
cheaper too :-) ). The original wires were only
letting about 25-30% of the rated power through. The
ONLY set of wires they had let about 75% of rated
power through, and the manufacture date on those was
2001. He reccomended Taylor wires, said they lasted
twice as long as motorcraft and usually provided about
5-10% more power than the oem set, so thats what I
got.
