BWD (Borg/Warner Direct) make an excellant set for both Quality and fit and at an extremely reasonable price. Available at most Parts stores, I use them even though they are not Concoures Correct because they cannot be beat at any price and are some of the least expensive around.

My scanner isn't cooperating. If somebody would like these send me fax number and I'll be happy to fax them. Also if somebody has scanning capability perhaps they could assist with getting these out there. Jeff

Sorry for the delayed response, I'll see if I can scan the instructions and post. It would very difficult to install the wires, using the factory wire brackets and holders without these. The wires are also numbered so that correct plug is connected to the correct position on the cap. The directions give you lengths for each wire as they pass through the brackets. Jeff

I don't remember my set costing that much, but they were very nice and excellent quality for a car driven on the road. They were carbon core too. Maybe I should look back over my receipts and items from a few years back. I think that was around 5 years ago or so. Anyhow, what Mac's had at that time not only installed easily and looked good, but was excellent performance quality wires.

Bruce Compton (3/8/2013) Do you guys prefer solid core or carbon core?? BruceStay with the carbon core wire sets. The radio and any electronics within the area will thank you for it.

Sadly $40 doesn't get you very far any more.

Daniel, Mac's still have the "correct" wires like that but they are a lot more money than the replacement wires they sell. the reproduction wire are 77.95 and the motorcraft replacement are 37.95. I would rather burn another $40 in gas going for a ride (my car is not a trailer queen) Mark

As I recall, the set I purchased from Mac's had all of the wires labeled so the measuring was a no brainer. Simply place the numbered wire with the corresponding cylinder's plug and the other end to the corresponding cap position. Maybe Mac's has changed their wires over the past 3 or 4 years?
