Need plug wires, recommendations?
Now that the TB-Wp service is done, it is time to focus on spark plugs and wires and then installing my 02 sensor. Is there a standard set of wires that work best? I know they are pricey!!

Mark Robinson sells Beru wires for $79, but you have to use your old ends. If you want something colorful or something other than stock, Motorsport sells Magnecor.

After buying the inexpensive Beru wires and installing them, next time I would go with the hugely expensive but complete Beru set. It was a pain to transfer all the mounting clips with the inexpensive set and one of my plug ends was bad. Also, I wasn't able to find the right wire insulation, so I ended up with bare wires while the original and expensive set is insulated in critical heat and wear areas. So, there are compromises with the cheap set.

I have the new Beru wire heat shielding in-stock as well, as they don't offer OEM insulation separately: it was just a rubber sleeve. The 1200 degree radiant sheathing is $40 per set & cut to length so that the hidden parts of your wires over the cylinder heads are shielded, kinda similar to stock. Yes, there is a possibility of having a bad connector, but I list the test-techniques in my literature (if anyone cares) 
Bill did you buy my wires or others? I"ve not heard back from a single customer who said they found a bad connector (yet).

No, the connector that was bad was the spark plug end, not included with the inexpensive wire set. So, your record is still 100%. Glad you have wire insulation and even better than original. I finally did find some heat resistant stuff at McMaster that fit well.

I don't want to be swapping ends and stuff. If somethintg can go wrong, it will on my project. I am looking for a set I can simply plug on one at a time after removing the old one. I see 928 Intl. offers a set for 300.00 biggies (ouch!!) What do a set Beru wires run with the insulating sleeve?
