Now if you could find some of the Splitfire plugs, I bet you'd fell the difference in the seat of the pants! I was surprised when I put Splitfire plugs in my '86 Comanche 4 cyl that I got no extra power, so I read up on them to find out that the real boost comes running them with the wires and a higher output coil. About that time I had a customer return a set of "defective" Splitfire wires. Turned out he was running points and OEM plugs and expected the Splitfire wires to react like Accels. He put the Splitfires on and it took numerous crankovers to fire up.
   He put the Accel yellowjackets on and it fired right up. My boss offered me a screaming deal on the returned wires (at cost), so I took them and used 4 and the coil wire for my 2.5L. After that it felt more like a I had a 4.0L under the hood.
   That was right before I went to Ouray, CO in '02. We rolled that Comanche over the scale at the WA/OR border and it was at 6,000 lbs with 3 adults, a canopy, camping gear, spare can of gas, 5 gallons of water and a pile of spare parts, including 3 spare tires. We averaged 20 - 25 mpg and had no problem doing the speed limit except when I thought I could get more power in the mountains in CO by putting in high octane fuel (BIG mistake! It ran far better on 85 octane!)

I've got a set of Splitfire dual core wires on the American.
Don't think they make them anymore though!
I bought them at a flea market for $15 for a 80's Ford 300 six.
Nice wires.
Someone once told me they put them on a car and promptly burnt a set of plugs up in no time.
I've never had any problems with plugs in the American and I wonder how that would be possible anyway?
 
Is it possible the wires can be too good? I can't see how.
