Thanks.
What do you think about the standard intermotor wires? Old name with a long warranty?

You can never go wrong with Bosch.

I do like Standard Motor Products parts for American car's. I've replaced my original Beru wires with Bosch wires. Good wires but a bit unhappy with the lengths. I'm sorry I didn't get the Beru wires.

Those Clewitt ones look nice, wish I would have seen those. I just installed Magnecor wires on mine, which seem good as far as the actual wires go, but I don't like the plug connectors.

IMO the stock ones will last about 100 years unless melted or cracked. They do not seem to age out the way domestic resistor wires do.

BTW, I have a set of used low mileage stock 944/951 Bosch OEM BERU spark plug wires available for sale. Wires are in great condition due to very little use (3K miles). Price $60+shipping.
