Re: Brand new '89 YJ
Bruce,
I can't seem to find a website for Belden. Do you know where I can
find some info or where I would be able to pick them up?
Thanks a lot.

Re: Brand new '89 YJ
I think I have tried every aftermarket 'performance' wire set made in
the last 35 years or so and none have performed or stood up as well as
the OEM ones from the $tealership.
I am now running on 7 years with the OEM Jeep plug wires in my CJ7.
'Performance' just means they will put out a nice clean spark... while
they work.
They are designed to work for at least 'one' race.....
Like a 'performance' engine. Race cars change those every race or two
also....
Accel wire are supposed to be 9mm 'performance' wires. Well they worked
until I had to check my spark plugs, then every metal clip on the ends
pulled off when I removed them. Half were arced out already which meant
they were broken to start and had been jumping that gap since new.
Belden make cables. They are twice the price of the same cable from any
competetitor just because of their name stamped in pure gold on the side
of the cable. (it must be pure gold, nothing else justifies their price)
Just my $0.02....

the last 35 years or so and none have performed or stood up as well as
the OEM ones from the $tealership.
I am now running on 7 years with the OEM Jeep plug wires in my CJ7.
'Performance' just means they will put out a nice clean spark... while
they work.
They are designed to work for at least 'one' race.....
Like a 'performance' engine. Race cars change those every race or two
also....
Accel wire are supposed to be 9mm 'performance' wires. Well they worked
until I had to check my spark plugs, then every metal clip on the ends
pulled off when I removed them. Half were arced out already which meant
they were broken to start and had been jumping that gap since new.
Belden make cables. They are twice the price of the same cable from any
competetitor just because of their name stamped in pure gold on the side
of the cable. (it must be pure gold, nothing else justifies their price)
Just my $0.02....

Re: Brand new '89 YJ
I think I have tried every aftermarket 'performance' wire set made in
the last 35 years or so and none have performed or stood up as well as
the OEM ones from the $tealership.
