You pay shipping, sure, I will send you mine. Are you the same type that is OK with driving on 15 year old tires too?

If you handle plug wires too much, the inner, as well as sometimes outer jackets, can break, and leak. Cross fire and arching out are symptoms, sometimes not noticeable at idle, but if you do notice it at idle, they have been bad for a long time.

Ever chase an elusive intermittent miss? 9 times out of 10, it's wires, or a cap.

I have run cast aluminum M/T valve covers for years. I've had plug wires leak so bad that they make burn holes in the fins. That gives you an idea of how bad it can be. And I have never run wires more than 5 years.

I just don't understand why people don't do proper periodic maintenance, it just makes sense, especially on a performance car.
