    Ngk's

    Ok so I went to do the tune up on the 98 T/A today. Bought the MSD spark plug wires and NGK TR55 spark plugs. I only have owned my T/A for 3 years now and do not know any of the service history before I bought it. My car had the stock plug wires on it but when I started to pull the spark plugs out I noticed that they were NGK TR55IX Ridium. Checked them out and noticed that there weren't really that much wear on them so I kept them in and just replaced the wires. My question is should I keep the IX's in or put in my new TR55's? Also ohm out my old wire and compared them to the MSD's. See the list below.

    #1 Cyl. 355.0 ohms 27.2-30.7 ohms
    #2 Cyl. 280.5 ohms
    #3 Cyl. 356.1 ohms
    #4 Cyl. 286.2 ohms
    #5 Cyl. 281.2 ohms
    #6 Cyl. 286.8 ohms
    #7 Cyl. 278.0 ohms
    #8 Cyl. 282.5 ohms

    Keep the TR55's for a year or two then drop them in.

    The ohm resistance seems like a lot, but honestly, it makes little difference with the very small distance the spark travels.

    I run MSD wires though as well.
