Default MSD wires

Who else has had problems with msd wires? I put a new set on my truck less than a month ago. I put my truck on the dyno, and now have a bad wire. I have the factory manifolds, so it didn't rub a header, it did slightly touch the steering shaft, but that wire ohmed out good. I ohmed all of them out and swapped plugs, went to the dyno , then it started missing. Drove me crazy. I had two bad sets of plug wires, was fixin to buy a new motor, cause these "new" wires couldn't be bad.lol. Oh well its fixed now, but not with MSD's. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience

Mine have been great for about a year now, and I've had them on and off numerous times (cam swap, experimented w/ different spark plugs, re-checked rockers, re-re-checked rockers, etc.) Maybe you got a bum set...

I've had my MSD 8.5mm red wires for about year and a half with no issues! Need hangers to make it look nicer(after headers had to use zip ties).
