Re: Plug wires flashing?

It wasn't sparks. It appeared to be arc flashes. Just quick bright flashes but they were dimmed a little because they were inside the jacket.

Re: Plug wires flashing?

See if you can get the wires tested and get some real numbers, that should tell you if the wires are bad or not.

Re: Plug wires flashing?

Well I borrowed an ohmmeter and pulled one of the wires. First one I tested read 32,400... I didn't bother to check the others. I'm going to order another set of Magnacor but, any opinions on if I should go with the 8.5mm again or go with the 10mm. I am not suprised these 8.5mm wires went bad because they have been on there for a long time (at least 2 years). Is there really any good reason for spending the extra 35 bucks for a set of 10s?

Re: Plug wires flashing?

Just found a set of Taylor 10.4mm plug wires. http://www.extremepsi.com/store/cust...cat=907&page=1 Any thoughts? Only 10 bucks more than the magnacor 8.5s

Re: Plug wires flashing?

I have a set of Taylors and they're a very nice wire. Nice thick protective jacket, I'd snatch them up.
