    302 runs great...sometimes

    anybody got a great link to inductive crossfire (plug wires) on the small block windsors

    I had a good link & lost it a while back that explained which wires need to be separated

    (I know about cyl 7-8 btw)...but I think there was others

    having some driveability issues...slight miss at speed...but not ALL the time...strange

    If wires are in top shape, consider it a mute point myself.

    I remember fighting this issue back in the day. Even with new wires, re routing certain wires helped, but not always. Sometimes the plug wire didn't fully seat on the plugs. I was never happy unless I felt that "click" when plugging them on. Yap I like coil on plugs. LOL

    Dodge V8s in some Jeeps and pickups, most prone I've ever seen to correct wire routing.

    I found spark plug wires are only good for one season when subjected to underhood temps (a la twin turbo).
    BTW, I have a set of Ford blue 9mm new in the box...
