Spark Plug Wires & Stuff

Im going to put a new rotor cap and botton, on my truck(92 302) as well as plugs(autolites). But is it worth paying the extra money for accel gear, or is its just fine using with bosch stuff?

I would make sure either brand isn't made by wells... usually a good way to spot quality on dizzy caps is to look for brass contacts and not tinned.

If bosch= autozone's cheapest, IOW, stay away.

I'd use an old Coke can before I bought another Bosch product, but that's just me. You won't notice any improvement with Accel parts that you wouldn't see with any other brand. Your best bet will be to get a cap with brass terminals and a matching rotor. They cost a couple bucks more at most auto parts stores, but they last the longest, and wear the least. Just get whatever the house brand is at your favorite auto parts store (provided it has brass terminals.)
