Default '95-'97 Spark Plug Wires

Had a lot of trouble with the OEM ignition wires -- usually failed after a plug change. Internal carbon-core was VERY delicate, and caused the dealers a lot of warranty headaches.
But then I found the BOSCH Part# 09725, 8-mm Mag-Core wires, and have been running them for 12 years & over 100,000 miles with no problems of any kind.
The Bosch wires have a spiral-wound, stainless-steel conductor that won't break down like the carbon-core wires do.
The Mag-Core wires also have stainless-steel terminal ends, which won't corrode like the brass terminals on other brands of wires.
These wires are of premium quality (Made in Germany), and are getting very hard to find. Amazon or RockAuto don't carry them any more, so your best bet might be E-Bay.
Tip: Replace your ignition wires ONE-AT-A-TIME, and route your wires carefully. Get a cheap set of black plastic wire separators to keep them looking good, in place, and away from hot or moving parts.

Follow-up , as of Friday, September 1st, 2017:
I checked on E-Bay, and there were several sets of "Brand New" Bosch 09725 Wire Sets for sale. REALLY good prices, too !!
Grab 'em before they're gone !!
