In 20 years I have never changed the plugs in my GTO. It has Jacob's ignition module and HEI magnetic pickup.

Highly agree on plug wires and all secondary ignition parts take quite a beating from a MSD box. Especially the coil wire from what I have noticed on my own ride.

I ran the 'blue' Jacobs boxes exclusively, the coils, and wires. When they got bought out, they were 'corporate' offerings/quality. I bailed.

Silicone is silicone, it breaks down over time, dang acid rain and crap! Heh-heh! I bet if you turn all the lights off, and run the engine, you would have a light show!

Lisle Tools used to have a tool that would kinda measure corona of plug wires, get one. Compare what new wires make that light flash over used ones. You will be enlightened.

Run your hand near the coil wire of a car running with a MSD box... and be careful where your jnk is parked while reaching!

I was enlightened....dynamically!
