Found: Deal on Iridium plugs & Question on wires

[96 century]

Just received new plugs (ACDELCO Part # 41101) for my Uplander from Rockauto.com.
$4.60 each, -$2 mail in rebate each, -5% coupon code, + 3.17 shipping. These sell for $6.99 at advance.

How do you guys feel about Autolite plug wires? I know people that have had trouble with cheap wires (Auto Zone junk). I have had good luck Napa professional line. But I've got $25 to advance coming my way and they sell autolite $30 -$10 mail in rebate. Any opinions or experiences?

Thanks
Josh

I have autolites on my truck and haven't had an issue with them myself, other than one of the connectors inside the boot coming off when I removed them. Had there been a guard behind my timing belt pulley I wouldn't have been removing them (pulley rubbed on one of them a bit). But, since the connector did come off they exchanged them no problem. The rubbed bit was my fault, but the connector was deemed a defect.

Depends on the vehicle. My 2000 z24 2.4 dohc and my 87 fiero only liked acdelco plugs. If I ran others I would develop a miss under load at low Rpm. It would be so bad I would have to keep the engine above 3,000 Rpms to stop it from bogging down. This would happen in less then 5,000 miles. I read somewhere to only use acdelco plugs and haven't looked back. That's just my experience. Now my 89 z24 with a 3400 will take anything.

When it comes to plug wires get the best you can buy. It also helps to use a ohm meter to find the set with the lowest ohms.
