Plug Wires

Hi All I have a 400 with a duraspark 2 distributor and the Ford Racing tall valve covers and would like to know what kind and routing of spark plug wires you have. Also what do you think of the E3 spark plugs, are they worth the extra dollars? The truck is a street cruiser and shower., so looks are important to. Popa John

Mate, don't know about the plug leads, but I have seen nothing to inspire me to purchase top of the range plug to justify the cost. I have known a few people that have had issues (bikes and cars) with expensive plugs with supposedly long service intervals (platinum etc) that have given them grief and a lot of trouble because they did not expect the plug(s) to be faulty early but that was the case. I would go with NGK for your application-you will have to work out your heat range.

Thanks Craig, appreciate the input on the plug thing. I had figured as much, a lot of hype and no results. John
