Well, just my luck. I was on my way to get the wires Friday after work and gave them a call so they could get them ready for me. Dude tells me he doesn’t have my kind , but can get them- even though other dude I talked to Tuesday said he had 2 boxes in stock. SO they’ll be here Tuesday.

Yea I had no prob running the oem wires, thats why I bought them in the first place but after reading all the problems with misfires etc these trucks have and my own experience of these oem wires lasting only a few weeks before the misfires presented themselves again I NEED to try some pretty blue wires. 1bad97ford I feel ya.

My truck has been reasonably good to me but I can ONLY say that because after I got it with an extended warranty I had over $7000 worth of work done to it. From replacing an A arm, idler arm, tie rod end, head gasket to completely rebuilding the rear end. . . TWICE. Only cost me a couple hundred bucks in deductables. Man was I glad I got that warranty.

Put the wires on last night and all is right in my ford world now. YEA! We'll see how long these last. I took extra care to insulate them wherever they touched other wires or came close to metal parts. That extra mm sure is a lot compared to the old 8mm.
Thank you for all your guys help. I will be keeping an eye on the rubber hose components on the intake.
