Hi All,

I need to replace the above mentioned on my 1985 Mustang GT with a 5spd.
Can anyone make some suggestions as to what kind would be the best in terms
of performance? Please let me know. Thanks.

wires. Unless yours are really, really bad. Then you're restoring
power, and not gaining it. SO don't waste time (and money) looking for
a performance plug wire.
Second, bigger is not better. Your plug wires only need to be big
enough handle the power of the ignition system. It would be like
running a 00 battery cable to run your factory radio. It will work, but
it's not necessary. The ignition will transfer only the amount of
power needed to create a spark. In an essentially stock engine, stock
plug wires work just as well as high dollar racing wires.

I've used Summit 8.0mm wires on many vehicle with excellent
results. They are cheap ($35), and you build them yourself. So they
fit everything exactly the way you want them to.

I've used the FMS wires sets a few times and never had problems. Taylor is
good as well.

I got a set of MSD wires from Jegs (www.jegs.com). Pricey at about 70 bux,
but they don't burn up or break or wear out like regular auto parts store
wires. Also, the boots and wires don't seperate when you attempt to pull the
boot off plugs for a change/check.

All in all, very pleased with MSD wires.

Ford recommends that you use Motorcraft original ignition wires for both
performance and reliability.

The reason Ford recommends using stock parts is because their parts are
designed as OEM parts,
Ignition parts are designed to integrate with in the tolerances of the ECM.
All Ford performance vehicles are designed
with hi energy ignitions so its superfolous to purchase so called
"Performance " Enhanced wires, ignitions, coils etc.
Hope this helps
