Ignition Wires?
Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions: How long should a set of stock ignition wires last? When should they be replaced? Are aftermarket wires worth the money on a stock or lightly modified car? Thanks in advance.

They could last 150k, some only last 50k, but they should be changed, with plugs, every 100k.
I have MSD 8.5mm super conductors, didn't notice a difference, but I only paid 50 bucks for them, so it was worth it IMO.

the cables physically will last a long time. The problem is the clips snapping off the wires. If you are not carefull or the cables are old they will break. I have MSD wires and in my second plug change one of them snap. I was able to fix it but since the wires are so short you don't get more than one chance to fix them.
just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all of the responses everyone. My Trans Am has 27,000 miles on it but is 11 years old so I was thinking it might be time to replace the wires. I guess they should be OK. Again, thanks everybody.

ppl forget that rubber does dry rot so it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and change them.
