dont know if this should be in tech, if so move thanks. Got a really quick question i noticed my car was down on power and noticed today that i was only runnin on 7 cyl., one boot came off and others wires in bad cond.

Im about to buy brand new plugs and Wires (wires needed most) and i need to know what would be the Best size for runnin on a 95Gt with a few mods 8.5mm, 8.8mm, 9.0mm???. And what brand. Ive an MSD ignition with Msd wires. Stick with MSD? and what size. I also noticed the boot on the wires is harder to get onto the plug on certain cyl.s due to my shorty headers, for that reason should i look at wires with shorter boots??? Quick help needed. Thanks -Joe

PS: was looking at the ACCEL 300+ race wires (any opinions)

You cant go wrong with the MSD 8.5's. We ran a set of the Accel 300+ wires on our circle track car for 3 seasons and never had a problem so either set would work well for you. [patriot]

+1 for the Ford Racing 9mm wires. I have those on my '94 GT and they're great. The part number is M-12259-M301 for the Ford Racing 9mm black wires. They also come in blue and red. I have the part numbers for those too, so PM me if you're interested in the other colors.
