Okay, I'm really starting to hate these wires.

I swapped plugs the other night, and had another wire let go on me at the spark plug end. I'm done with these.

Next set will be MSD's.

 

I was fixing to start a new thread about these .. but sine this one is dug back up ....

I got my replacement wires on today. It turns out that there is a different wire for the car and trucks, the car wires being a bit shorter than the truck ones. One thing I noticed is with an OHM meter, the stockers measured in k ohms, something like .7xx kohm, but the TV50's measured 50 Ohms.

Now I know my old wires were burnt up, so I don't know how good of a comparison this is, but I know it cleaned the idle up a good bit and it runs a lot better. If I didn';t know any better it doesn't take as much pedal as it did before either. They were a little difficult to put on but I think that's mainly because it's a thick heavy wire.

 

That's a perfect comparison, Flyer...

My old Avalanche's wires were 400ohms each... my SS's were 800 ohms each. (WTF?)

My TV50's measured in around 30-40ohms. - MSD's were in the 40's I believe.

Either way, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT with the wire upgrades! Much better off idle throttle responce, and less pedal to get rolling along.
