Suggestions for good quality plugs/wires/cap/rotor?

[mburkhart]

I want to replace the plugs/wires/cap/rotor in my stock 302. But when I go looking on auto part sites it's not really easy to tell the quality parts from the cheap foreign crap.

Can anyone recommend specific brands or items I should look for (or avoid)? This is the stock 302 in a 1974 Bronco.

Good luck. The race to the bottom on the part of almost every parts manufacturer these days has been alarming. So much of what is on the market- even major name brands like Motorcraft- is Chinese junk. And to be completely fair, it's junk because the pressure is on them to keep prices as low as possible too. Bigger profits for the American retailers, and so far people grumble but they still buy the stuff.

Do not buy spark plugs off Amazon. There is no attempt by Amazon to vet their vendors, and fakes are rampant. Summit is a better source, among others. Brand is an endless debate, I'll leave it to others to weigh in.

I've got a set of ford racing 8mm wires in the free section if you're interested

I bought and started assembling my MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor set. Super high quality, make your own length, comes with a Crimper/cutting guide (but I’ll prob use my ratcheting Crimper anyway).

I’ve only cut and messed around with the main coil wire for practice since I don’t need that one.

I just run automated plugs, summit brand cap and motorsport wires. That's with a Davis hei dizzy.

Crap, did it get me too or did I just write the wrong thing? I use Autolite too.
