Spark plug wires and brand quality?

[Kira]

Where are NGK wires available? (and yes, I'm being a tad lazy by not doing my own search)

Also, are the Taylor wires mentioned above are "Jegs Catalog products"?

I got some not too long ago at Advance and even used a coupon, I needed them right away so online was out of the question.

I wouldn't replace them unless you are sure they are bad. I have never had to replace a set in 50 years. If you see a spark jumping from the wire to ground, clean the wire and wrap it with electrical tape. This works for me.

Sorry but that's a real hack job, you do things like that only in an emergency.

Yep, a good tip for a smoked cat. Potentially damaging tips like this should not be perpetuated or tried.
