DeTomaso Mailing List: July 98, Message #253

Kirby,
Like you, I never gave a whole lot of thought to plug wires.  However, my
LaForza was going through a set every 3-4 months because the headers were
baking them in the area of the plugs.  Looked fine, but at high revs 
(visible at night with the hood open) it was like a fireworks show.  I
put the 8mm Accel kit on, $110-130, and no more problems over the past
year+.
