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. http://www.magnecor.com/ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Cheaper alternative spark plug wires for 97 Astro Group: alt.trucks.chevy Date: Sun, Nov 12, 2006, 4:08pm (EST-1) From: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx (Ken*Brown) 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. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% "Sometimes, it is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." ~ Unknown ~ |

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. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
