Default Cheaper alternative spark plug wires for 97 Astro



Does anyone favor another brand of spark plug wires to AC Delco?

The AC Delcos are up to $120 for a set of 6, up from $90 three years
ago.

I want some high quality wires that are already cut to the right
length and ready to install.

The application is for a 97 Astro with 356,000 miles used for a taxi
cab. I want them to last at least 100,000 miles, if not more.

why don't you divide the price, by the number of miles you have been getting
out of them, and then ask yourself if its worth the cost.

Why not check out Magnecor wires. They are cheaper and better than the
ones yo've been quoted. I just put a set on a 1990 Suburban 5.7L and
they work great. I ordered them direct and the total cost was $104
delivered.

Not sure if they are "better" but I've tried dozens of brands over the
years and these appear to be very well made (unlike some of the others
I've tried). I guess I'll just have to wait and matbe I'll get 110,000
miles out of them like I did my shocks. I was truly impressed with them
when I took them out of the box to examne them but only time will tell.

AC Delco used to be really good stuff. I managed a hardware and autoparts
store for my dad years ago, and we got AC Delco parts and batteries through
a special program with Cotter & Co (True Value). We had fewer returns with
AC Delco parts than any other line we had.

Even their batteries were top notch. Quite a number of them lasted the
actual warranty life and longer. All that being said, in the last few years
I have not had such good luck with AC Delco batteries. Other parts I just
don't deal with because its either under warranty or I am replacing the
vehicle. After several repeat AC Delco bad batteries I don't even bother
having the batteries warrantied. I just go over to CarQuest instead. Down
time costs more than good batteries.
