C2 spark plug wires

[Barry K.]

the spark plug wires on my car are dated but I have no clue if they are original or just dated repros. i'm guessing dated repro's but who knows?

Anyway, as long as I have most of the top of the motor off and everything is easy to get to, how would I determine if I should replace the spark plug wires or not waste the money? I'll replace them if I should do so, but i hate to spend the money i could use elsewhere if it's really not needed.

Overall the wires look ok, they don't have cracks in the insulation, are still flexible rather than stiff and brittle. Are there other signs I should look for to determine if they are good to reuse?

if the engine pulls strong without miss/hesitation, the plug wires are probably ok. mike

Re: C2 spark plug wires

great, thank you Mike
it will be nice to not have to spend to replace them with repro dated ones - I have plenty of other things on my project I need to spend on instead.
