    FMS wires...found this interesting

    well long story as short as possible,....

    i had originaly FMS blue wires....did a tune up and went with red...had red #3 melt on header....put blue #3 on and had no problems.

    well today i went to put on my new red #3...and its touching the header again....put the blue #3 back on and its off....took some side by side pics and comparisons....the blue wire has a smaller circumfrance of boot then the red wire

    My FMS wires were too long, but other than that they seem OK

    I was told that the FMS wires have horribly high resistance compared to the quality plug wires on the market. I should have known the FMS wires weren't that great, since they were only $40. I was told the MSD, Taylor, or Jacobs wires are the way to go.
