What makes the Ford Racing wires "Junky"?
price and ford racing wires are 1200-1500 ohms per foot compared to msd 50ohms then i'll throw in the fact that out of two sets of ford wires i have owned both began to arc because of splits!

I have had 2 sets of FR wires and both sets I had a problem with the spark plug boot after they were warm, would loose their grip on the spark plug then fall over and melt on the header and create an arc and miss. I have not had that problem with any other plug wire. I will never use a Ford Racing plug wire again.
Makes me feel good about having bought a set of FRPP wires.
Maybe the Canadia wires will be better?
True....I mean....aren't most things Canadian?
Brand new Taylor wires here. Followed the cjecklist by jrickter an still no start. Seems to me the spark is weak though
fwiw, i was running a Summit branded ignition box, yhe older Mallory made units along with an MSD Blaster 8227 coil. Went to start the car after turbo install and mild wire tuck and got cranking only. No issues with ethe car prior, but I suspected the ignition ox. Bypassed it and am now getting that weak spark, no spark with the summit box now
i didnt touch any of the factory stuff or that wiring other than moving the coil to the inner fender. Ran all of jrickters checklist and everything checks out
Maybe you have a small cut in the coil wire insulation?
Have you run the pitch dark arcing test yet?
