good new plug wires for DOHC

Can anyone tell me a goos set of wires for the DOHC Pro? whe i bought the car it had after market wires, but the wires didn't have the cap/plug piece, so debris has been geeting into the deep plug holes. I'm concerned that corrosion is a risk, so if anyone ha a good suggestion, or a part #, please post itup. thanlks!

NGK Blue wires are perfectly fine. Good for 60k or more. Much better than the cheap wires you find in most autoparts stores.

If you just have to spend more, Magnacore makes good wires

aka The NGK Blue are Performance, and they are considerd OEM since Dealerships sell them. Thats what i jus bought for my 94 Sohc. NGK Wires and Plugs for $20 (also have employee discount). I cant feel a difference. but they look a helluva lot better then the old cracked black ones produced in 94.

Id go for the NGK over the generic Autozone/PReppyboys ones. Only other brand i MIGHT suggest is Bosch.

I've heard the Bosch's are overrated for ours, just use NGK

Use compressed air to get the crap out of those deep holes. Even with the boots I always find a little bit of crap down around the plugs. I always shoot compressed air down there before I remove the plugs.... don't need that crap in the engine!
