Another one for the 'what's the best to use with my truck' series of threads, I will be doing these 3 items soon and was wondering what everyone suggests. I don't want any fake 'performance' products with bloated prices, I want to get the regular priced stuff (not necessarily 'cheap', even though I settle for spark plugs that cost a buck and some change), but at least the cap & rotor have to be proven in reliability.
I was looking at AutoZone for wires first and ended up at Advance Autoparts, they have the Autolite wire set for $22 so I figured since Autolite is Motorcraft it might be the best thing to get especially since I use Autolite plugs and I don't want to spend $40 on plug wires anyway.
For the cap and rotor, I am thinking of going with the Accel or Niehoff kit. NAPA only has a 'cheap' set and a 'regular price' set, one with serial letters MPE and the other ECH (?). There are other brands I'm looking at: Advance has the Borg Wagner, Beck/Arnley, and Niehoff kits; AutoZone has their own Duralast cap as well as a Beck/Arnley cap and offers Mallory (same as Accel) rotors.
Just wondering what your opinions are. Thanks.
