Default Pictures of colored spark plug wires?

I'm considering a plug wire change on my 93 GTS and I was wondering if anyone out there has pictures of different color wires installed.

GTS huh? Nice!

Here's the two-valve motor with Nology wires. Expensive- they look ok, but I'd not waste my money again.

Best of luck-

N!

Greg,

Stop by some time and I'll pop the hood. I have blue (I think nology) wires installed by a PO. Not worth it IMHO.

928 602 06 89-95 Plug Wire Set / 909 1.00 $ 295.0000 0 $ 295.00
3 ST

This is the plug wire set that 928 International suggested. Apparently they can special order most any color for these at no additional cost.

Is this a normal price for a plug wire set? Or are these the Nology ones?

stock black set for my S4 from 928 is 300 bucks. Nology wires are more than that.

Mark Robinson can do black or blue Berus (for $79 without ends) and I think he said he was working on getting red (or was it yellow?). Magnecors come in blue, black, or red depending on the wire size. I think Carl can also do different colors, but I don't remember whose wires he uses.

Here's what I have on file. Not much else that you can see anyway if you run them in the factory spots on later cars. Sorry but the rest is work in progress.

I have black & blue in stock, & also have 2 complete sets of spark plug terminals for 4v cars: tested & included with the wires for $8 each if you like.

Are they the Kingsbornes? Or Magnecor?

I went through a couple sets of Nology wires on my Euro. Their Cool Wires look like they might be a better bet to overcome the problem I had- the insluating material was soft and the wires came apart after a few R&Rs.

OEM Beru solid-core is all I use: same as the OEM wire. Spiral core wires can/may cause you lots of problems, like they did mine, repeatedly. I have 1200 degree heat sheathing available for an extra $40 for the set, partial-length ala Nology, or full length for $80 more (I have black in-stock).
