My 1991 Civic's OEM ignition wires are now five years and
66k miles old. The 1991 owner's manual replacement interval
is four years/60k miles. Tegger says he does his on his 1991
Integra at five years, period, though he lives in a northern
climate in Canada (and I like what he says about ignition
components). I live "out west" where in summer it's kinda
hot, and for nine months of the year it's pretty darn warm.
I would think the higher heat where I live would argue for
more frequent replacement than Tegger's schedule.

The following has been on my mind:

I check the wires' resistances once a year. The resistances
haven't moved since purchase. I wash the wires off with
water about twice a year. They do get pretty dusty. My 1991
if it works, don't fix it
I just replaced the original ignition wires on my 12 yr old Chrysler

Concord. They were OK, but I felt it was time.
I also replaced the original PVC valve hoses; they had failed, it's
several years past their lifetime.
