Hello ppl! Anyways i have a problem with my spark plug wires. They keep poppin out of the distributor. Not all the way but it just pops out when i drive. Its a 8.8 Split fire wires. It came with it when i bought the engine. Does it mean i need new wires or what? Thanks ppl!

Mm it could need new wires. You may want to try putting some LocTite or whatever that stuff is called on it. If you replace them I recommend NGK Blues because they are very well made and I have never had that problem with mine.

I got mine from inlinefour.com, they were only $32 or something, I know they were cheaper than the shit I got from Pep Boys.

Another trick i've seen some autocrossers do, is zip tie the ends that attach to the distrubtor cap. Seems to work pretty well. Also i'd just like to throw my vote for magnacore wires...I just love those damn things lol.

I can get you some OBX 10.3mm wires and Red, Blue or Yellow. I notice a nice difference in engine performance when I put them on. My engine runs a lot smoother during acceleration and I haven't had a problem with them. They're a little more expensive, but they're nice. I'll do them for $75+shipping. Just a note, these wires are huge.

You can see how big they are in this picture of my engine.

I would recomend either the NGK or the magnacore wires, ive heard good things about either one.

Hey thanks for the offer man but i'm thinkin of goin with NGKs , Magnacore or Nology. Can you get either one of those instead?

I think I can, I'll have to check with my distributors, but I don't think I can beat $32.

I would get Magnecor wires, they're 8.5mm. I put them on and felt a noticeable difference.

Changed the spark plugs too...
