spark plug wires

I'm looking to replace the spark plug wires on my 91 F-150. I don't think they've been changed ever soo i think it's about time that they are. What kind of wires would be best, so as not to hinder the performance of the engine.


Thanks
Kyle

Plenty of good wires out there, lots of garbage too.

NAPA's Belden premium and Taylor Spirocore come to mind.

i have had TERRIBLE luck with accell wires had a set on my truck brand new and they lasted for about 1 month before they were shorting out on everything taylor makes some nasty plug wires their silicone wires are awesome i think they are 11.5mm or something i have a set of ford motorsport wires on my truck and couldnt be happier but if you want it to look nice it is best to get the custom fit wires and make them yourslelf that way you can put them where ever you want, the motorcraft wires have terrible ohms per foot compared to any racing wires out there by the way, meaning less spark at the plug

I put on Aurora 8.5mm. This is the second vehicle I've had them on and they've been great.
