Posts: 3,156 | I run these on mt 1971 Land-Rover. These are hands down, the BEST wires made. They do not interfere with the electronic engine management systems, which is far more important than the gimmic "inductive mega-spark crapola" wires out there. They may come with a lifetime warranty as well, so multiple sets is not neded. | | | 02-17-2006, 04:00 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Asheville NC Posts: 669 | Quote: Originally Posted by J!m They may come with a lifetime warranty as well, so multiple sets is not neded. | I'd have trouble installing 1 set on 2 cars, so multiple sets would be necessary in my case | | | 02-17-2006, 04:21 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | I'm in, make the call.............
