I had the hard plastic 90 degree "replica" plugs purchased from TRF installed
for the past year or so ... until this weekend when suddenly one of the plugs
went south at the plug end ... put me on the side of the road ... and then
scrounging in the next gas station junk yard for a fix ... with a bright red
wire from a Cavalier. So today I replaced all the plug wires with some good
high quality copper core wires from the local performance shop, for $23.00,
(bright yeller too) and that's for 8 wires and a coil wire and with the eight
wires and the length, there is probably enough there for three replacements,
even though these are "lifetime warranty", whether this is my lifetime, the
"3" or the wires I don't know.
