    well i changed my old corroded plugs and wires and put a new rotor and distributor cap in all at once- yes- i did feel a difference- less hesitation, much smoother acceleration. if you just replace the wires? well, i dont think you'll notice anything...maybe better gas mileage- but these were the stock thickness (guage), they have triple core? wires which claim to send more power to the plug...

    i would just suggest some v-power copper NGK plugs.... the wiresets come with a new cap, go with the Autolite set.... they're either 7 or 8mm.... and only like $40.... you won't notice anything different with a larger plug wire

    Can you post a link where I can find some? I looked the ngk.com site and it wasn't listed for my 97. I looked at Summitracing.com, and they didn't have an autolite set.

    that ngk set can't be used with all distributor caps... you need to make sure you have removeable wires first..... many are built in
