Clewett Spark Plug Wires
I finally got sick of trying to install and remove Magnecore wires on my car. I decided to try a set of Clewett wires and am kicking myself for not trying them sooner. Just a great set of wires from what I can see. The boots, wires, and construction quality seem up there with the factory originals (at least), and they click on and off without any of the hassles of the Magnecor wires (which are akin to pressing a bearing in place using a cooked spaghetti noodle.) Customer service was great too. I asked about a custom coil wire on the weekend; had an answer Sunday night; and the wires were in my car on Thursday. No affiliation, just a happy camper.

I upgraded to the Clewetts a few years ago and am very happy with the quality. Still a PITA to fully seat #3 and #4, but that was cured with a set of plug wire pliers.

I haven't tried Clewetts, but I just wanted to say to anyone who might come across this thread in the future- stay away from Magnecore! They might be technically great, but they are fragile and difficult to install and remove. It's a hassle and there's a real risk of breakage. There's no need for that when good quality wires are readily available.

Off topic: what's up with the FFTEC website? Whenever try to look at it, I get a big warning saying that it may be compromised and that only a fool with visit it, or something like that..

Are the Magnecors that bad? I just read all about them and they sounded great, and especially how they will last the lifetime of the car installed on.
Anyone have a used set they want to sell?

I have used both, and after having problems with intermittent connections with a set of new Magnecors at the track I will never use them again. The Clewett wires are better than Bosch for half the price.
For any one interested, I have a used set of Clewett spark plug wires that was hardly used and still in original box. Selling for $35+shipping.

I had magnecors. I just replaced them after 5 years or so with expensive Clewetts (The LR version) and what a difference...see my thread under Bucking Acceleration.
