John H:  "And as long as the wells are free of oil, they will last just as 
long as the Motorcraft set will, plus they are less expensive.  Who would have 
thought!"

Now you've got me curious.  What would cause aftermarket wires and boots OF 
THE PROPER DIMENSIONS AND FIT to be degraded more quickly in an oily/watery 
environment than the OEM ones?  Yeah, obviously the choice or quality of 
materials but why would a bunch of reputable manufacturers take a backseat to 
Motorcraft in that regard? 

Any enlightenment would be welcome.  Not challenging y'all, but very curious.
