Do bigger spark plug wires make a difference?
That thicker wire core provides a lower operating resistance, allowing more spark energy at the spark plug. This thicker core, once wrapped in the insulating material and outer jacket, is what dictates the larger overall spark plug wire diameter.
What is a spark plug wire set?
Spark plug wires, also known as ignition cables, are a key part of the ignition system. Car engines that have a distributor or remote coil pack have spark plug wires that transfer the spark from the coil to the spark plug.
What does the MM mean on spark plug wires?
Plug wires are most often rated by their diameter. The most common are 7mm and 8mm thicknesses, but what’s more important is the conductor. The best choice is the spiro-wrap style Taylor wires that reduce resistance, minimize RFI noise, and offer the best performance.
Does it matter what spark plug wires you use?
Most manufacturers recommend an 8 or 8.5mm plug wire on most applications. Exceptions would be an all-out race car or a street rod where EMI/RFI suppression is not a concern, but weight and appearance are. In which case, a 5 or 7mm wire might be a better option.
Are expensive spark plug wires worth it?
High-quality wires will allow the spark plugs to start faster and keep your engine running more effectively. Save money. Routinely swapping out your spark plug wires can save you cash. Driving on faulty wires can end up damaging your vehicle if you don’t switch out the wires quickly enough.
How do I choose spark plug wires?
How often should spark plug wires be replaced?
between 60,000 and 100,000 miles
That’s why it pays to replace your spark plug wires before they wear out. We recommend changing them during spark plug changes (whenever your owner’s manual recommends, usually between 60,000 and 100,000 miles).
