They're doing back bends? They're trying to make a bridge? They're going to MacDonald's????

OOOOHHHHH...arcing. Nevermind.

I'm sorry. I had to.

If they're acring in that many places, take them back, and get better ones! That should not ever happen.

Personally, I'd recommend doing my MSD build your own kit I did a write-up about. It's the best bang for the buck, if you can do the work. Otherwise, there are alot of opinions about this. Do a search about it, and then you can decide what's best for you.

they were arcing a all over the place
the problem was with the distributor i put a new one and the problem was solve

Moral of the story: keeping drugs out of your ignition components will prevent your spark plug wires from wanting McDonald's.
