MSD Wires??
I have always used MSD #31183 universal wires and have had very good success. I recently purchased a set for my friends car and when I installed I noticed that the slightest bend to the multi angle spark plug end made the wire feel loose at the plug. I took one apart and the crimp was as thin as a sand blasted beer can. They are so flimsy if you bend them it feels like they will break off. I reached out to local speed shop and he says they are made in China!!! Has anyone else had issues?
Thanks

Re: MSD Wires??
We have noticed that lately as well.
We buy bulk wire and make them at this point. We replace Coil Wire every 10 races or so.

Re: MSD Wires??
Coil wire gets used at least eight times more than any other.

Re: MSD Wires??
We have run MSD wires for decades = the quality of the
fittings and assembly have deteriorated significantly last few years. The wire itself seems fine to my uneducated eye. For that matter the quality of everything MSD is become worrisome lately and the life of their components seems shorter.

I've used Moroso forever. Assemble my own. Many years ago, I had a conversation with tech rep from Autometer about RFI, etc. - everybody knew the guy. I think he took over a track in West Virginia at some point, but his name escapes me. He told me wires should be replaced every year. Coil wire twice a year. Made sense. I followed the advice, never had any problems with wires. |
