Which wires for Accel 300+ Ignition

86GT · 02-04-2001, 05:11 PM

I'm running an Accel 300+ ignition and coil, and I've got 9mm fms wires but one was bad so its just a stock replacement (crappy). I get a small bucking and kicking when I'm cruising (not on the gas or off). It goes away after a quick hit on the gas. Anyone know if the fms 9mm are good for the ignition system or should I find something better?

The accell 300+ wires are probaly good, i never used them, but i have regular 8mm spiral core wires and havent had any problems.

Stay away from the 300+ wires, they bond themselves to the plug and will not come off. Yes I use lots of dielectric grease, and I have a boot puller. I'm on my 5th(& final) set from advance auto, thank god for their lifetime warranty.

Get some Taylor or MSD wires.

90% of the time,I've heard nothing but bad luck from people who have run the motorsport"gonna leave ya on-the-side-of-the-road" spark plug wires.

Yeah, I'm starting to lean away from the FMS wires. They're not holding up after 2 years now. Do the MSD wires work well with the Accel ignition system?

The new MSD wires have the lowest resistance of any wire out there which = more current to the plug.
