Need plugs and wires

flattusmaximus78 · February 17th, 2009, 04:22 PM

My vortech is on! Just got done putting the upper back on after installing 42lb injectors. Just need plugs wires and a belt to get this mother going.

I have gt40p heads... so I need colder plugs. Which to go with. What plugs wires would be suggested as well.

Go with autolite plugs and Taylor wires

flattusmaximus78 · February 17th, 2009, 04:50 PM

What autolites though? How cold?

M L Struck · February 17th, 2009, 05:39 PM

Autolite 34's

And these wont be an issue for p heads? also with the boost, what should I gap them at?

White Thunder · February 17th, 2009, 07:08 PM

one step colder than stock and i would take the gap down to .035 - .040

86er · February 17th, 2009, 09:36 PM

prob closer to .032-.035 and 8mm taylors should run about 50 bucks 10.4mm around 100 bucks

murrys should have them in stock

flattusmaximus78 · February 17th, 2009, 09:55 PM

Are the taylors worth it? honestly...

superbean · February 17th, 2009, 10:03 PM

with boost, you need good ignition. do it right the first time.

flattusmaximus78 · February 17th, 2009, 10:16 PM

good answer... im running stock ignition with a blaster coil, so I suppose that makes sense. I got a good hook up at murrays down here thank God.

the better the wire the less resistance....so they are indeed worth it
msd also makes some good wires

86er · February 17th, 2009, 10:22 PM

from what ive seen the 30 extra bucks for msd, wasnt worth it

White Thunder · February 17th, 2009, 10:23 PM

i had a test sheet somewhere of the major wires tested and i cant find it...msd was at the top taylor wasnt tested....i'll keep looking

Set your gap at about .035

i spoke with a guy who is a salesman for a company that makes distributors and plug wires (custom) mostly does work for race car drivers who need certain sizes etc. He said the plug wire that comes closest to being as good as his is MSD. He has ran all sorts of different tests. I forget the name I will stop in the shop and find out. The distributor he makes is supposed to be awesome too it doesnt retard barely any timing, the MSD does along with the others. Just thought it was pretty cool...when he put his plug wires on the c6 corvette we were tuning...you could tell a difference in the idle w/ open cutouts
