sparkplug wire set

there are a bunch of spark plug wire sets here which do u recommend, probably need to change mine since they are original ones in my 82sc and one is missing the rubber boot on top without paying for the original porsche wires

I am very happy with the standard Clewett wires I bought two years ago. I did not buy the Magnecor for my 81 but they are highly recommended. About a $75 difference in price with the Magnecor being higher.

I went with the Magnecor (KV85) wires recommended by Steve Weiner a couple of years ago and have had no problems. I did need to modify the wire guides a bit as they are thicker than the stock wires.

My Magnecors (KV85) do not have the grounding jacket like the stock wires. When I was doing my original research there were a couple of theories about why teh stock wires were grounded that I no longer remember other than to try and contain RFI noise. I have not had any issues with my installation on a stock 82SC engine.

It was more of a failed attempt by the factory to address the issue of airbox explosions due to ignition crossfire which never cured the problem.
