Product Information

Product Details
Part No. 5040R
Warranty Details (1 YR REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE)
The traditional ACCEL combination of yellow wire and red spark plug boots has been added to these SuperStock Spiral Core 5000 Series wire sets, which feature color-matched wire and spark plug boots in blue, black, and red. With only 500 ohms/ft. of resistance, more ignition energy can reach the spark plug, producing a longer-lasting, hotter spark flame kernel. The results is higher performance through improved efficiency, quicker throttle response, and reduced emissions. This 8mm wire's double silicone construction is rated to 550 degrees F. The high-gloss wire jacket resists moisture, chemicals, and heat extremes for longer life and great looks. The fiberglass braid adds greater pull strength and terminal retention, while the stainless steel spark plug terminals provide excellent long life, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Both universal and custom-fit applications are available for early and late model cars and trucks.

Product Features:
  • 500 Ohms/ft Of Resistance
  • 550 F Rated Silicone Jacket
  • Stainless Steel Plug Terminals
  • High RFI Suppression For Street And Strip Use
  • Universal And Import Coverage
  • High-strength Fiberglass Braid Construction
  • Pre And Post HEI Vehicles
  • 8mm High Gloss Silicone Jacket

Not so Good
Ignition caps came off once the engine started running. The rubber part fit tight when cold but come off completley when hot. The metal contacts were too small for the towers so they just popped right out. This is going on a Ford 302 V 6.This is not a good fit for my application.

Not the correct set for my vehicle
Verified Buyer -
Set comes with 2 types of right angle distributor-side boots. If the set is going to be a universal fits all set, then it should also come with straight boots. Not thoroughly impressed as I’d hoped to be.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Not for 70 Buick, Non-HEI
I needed a new set of plug wires for my car. These were listed as "Exact Fit" for my 1970 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1 455 but they are for 75 and newer HEI distributor ends with the tower type terminals with integrated coil. I needed the old press-in ends for the old points type distributor cap with a coil wire. This was not listed any where on the description of the product online. I'll will try to exchange them at the store. This would have been instantly obvious in person but the description failed me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
