    Make your own spark plug wires?

    So I know that for chevy's and fords and most American cars you can buy the kit to make your own spark plug wires and was wondering if anyone has done this before and what ones I can use. I can find the standard 7mm everywhere but I'm looking for something bigger like the 8mm ones. I searched the threads and couldn't find anything on this.

    Yes. It's not hard to do with a few tools. I used the MSD 8.5mm superconductor kit with enough wire for a V8. So I could have made 2 sets. Problem was they produced too much EMI which showed up as noise in the stereo and I can't have that. Magnecor's seem to be much better in that department but I don't know if they sell a universal kit.

      Well I have done them before but I just didn't want to buy them and not be able to use them and have something else just sitting around...

        The inductive pick- up for the 'is' engine won't fit over the super- fatty wires.

        that's the only real snag.
