Taylor 409 race in color of red, no issues, excellent fit, smoother idle. But like when I posted the upgrade of mine, it's like politics everyone is going to think their opinions are the best but go with what you want and be happy.

Will look into some sleeves for sure, can't pay for granatellis at the moment.
I have the same headers and have 20K+ miles on the stock wires.

You will notice some of the other brands being sold you have to over stretch to get a good fit. Not the case with these. I ordered through Maryland and had then shipped to my door for $65.

Those look good.

I have a post on here somewhere showing the measured resistance of each set.
That post with all the wires and their ohms is why I saved my pennies and went with granatelli.

I have a feeling that entire thread may have been deleted, but let me see if I can find it.

I'm glad it was useful to someone but I can't find that post anywhere. If I recall correctly I had a pciture with all of the wires and my Fluke meter. It would be easy to get the numbers again since the stock and MSD wires aren't on the car and the Granatelli wires were all within 1 ohm, maybe less, of zero.

Does anybody know how much current travels through the plug wires when they send power to the plug? I would guess that it VERY low current.

Usually less than 1 amp. However, they are around 30k volts.
