are these the original plug wires

[brandon1186]

i was just wondering if these are the original plug wires from 95 they say like scorpio or something on them if they are i would probably see a huge performance increase no? http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq288/brandon11866/100_1783.jpg

It looks like it , the color is good plus they have this plastic wrapped around. Theres a slight chance they may have been changed with motorcraft replacements though. I think the originals have numbers on them 1 to 6 for each cylinders.

92's were nonstock but the 95's were and they were numbered

They should be replaced about every 60k....

Unless the wires are arcing, stiff, or have resistance greater than 5K ohms, it is a waste of money to replace them. You will see zero performance difference. My original wires were on for 180K and 15 years. There was really nothing wrong with them when I replaced them; still have them for spares.

Stock replacement wires are numbered as well, I got a set of motorcraft replacement wires and they are numbered.

I never tested ohm of my old plug wires. But on an uphill freeway ramp i made it to 40mph from 5-10mph with the pedal to the floor. Plug wires on that car (224k silver ATX pictured in sig) were night and day. Most SHOs are high mileage now and as a result most will feel a difference from some new wires. I have on all four SHOs ive done it to. one being a 113k motor. Anything over a 100k is too long IMO. If your thinking you need new wires, i'd imagine it isn't for no reason, car feeling sluggish? Go through the usual and cheaper culprits, new plugs, run the codes, then come back to wires.

i changed the wires out today and the car runs like a champ :thankyou:

FYI: Stock wires have the year they were made on them.

The Motorcraft replacement wires use to have the date as well. I don't know if they still do, but I think I've seen as recent a date as 2004 on one set of Motorcraft replacements.

The rear plug banks will be compromised by h2o if the hood seal is not fully intact. It won't matter how good the wires are.
