The wires arrived yesterday.
for speedyperformanceparts.com.
The difference in quality is apparent. The NGKs appear to be much studier and more substantial. And as a bonus they're a stylish shade of blue
Removing the old ones wasn't too tough. All four of them came apart in one way or another, but needle nose pliers got everything out easily. Two of the spark plugs took a bit of a turn to get them to the 156 in-lb tightness, but not much. The NGK wires were ~ 1" shorter than the corresponding generic ones. Got 'em all plugged in and the car runs fine. Will track mileage to see if there's a change.
Anybody know if Advance might gimme a refund or credit for the crapola wires? Each one is in 2 or 3 pieces, so that they weren't any good is not in question.
