Spark plug wires?

I'm thinking about replacing my spark plug wires again. I have duralast spark plug wires as of now. I put them on when I first got my car. It had 108k it at the time. Now I'm getting close to 152k. They were around $30 something dollars at the time. They seem good quality to me. But I just think its time to replace them. I've already replaced my spark plugs a while ago They didn't really need to be replace the gap was still at .060 inches.

What would be good replacement wires. Advace seems to charge $50 for AC Delco wires. Whats a quality alternative to them. or are the duralast ok to us again?

Re: Spark plug wires?

If it still had the O.E wires at 100k + miles maybe the dealer ones aren't a bad option. If you're changing them because you can than why spend the extra money on the good stuff when the cheep stuff won't be on your vehicle long enough to develop an issue?

I have Granatelli's MPG + wires. These are resistorless wires, which give you a 5-10% fuel economy saving. I think they were around $60-70.

Re: Spark plug wires?

The little clip inside the grips the spark plug is probably gone which probably means that they are old and you need new ones.
