What does everyone have and like for plug wires? I plan to get some 8mm for the Blazer and am torn between AccelMSD or Taylor. Also do you guys reccommend going to get a new cap and rotor as well? Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

thanks

I would not touch Taylor wires. Very bad quality control problems in all of their lines.

Accel isn't a bad wire. I prefer the lifetime warrantied Belden Premiums from Napa.

my ride only has 25k miles on it, do you reccommend changing the plugs with the new wires? I would only swap them with new AC Delcos if I did. I wouldnt use anything but that in a Chevy. Unless it was a Vette.

At only 25k miles, it really is a waste to install new plugs/wires. The double platinum plugs that are installed from the factory have a service life of +100k miles and in real life last well upwards of 75k miles. I would recommend that they be pulled at 50k and inspected.
