Message:
What would be the best spark plug wires for my set-up? I have an Accel Cap and Rotor, MSD 6a ignition amp, and Bosch Platinum 4 spark plugs. I also have Gibson headers, straight pipes, a 52mm throttle bodie, and a K&N Generation 1 air cleaner if that matters. Thanks for your help.

Which of the MSD Superconductors should I get? There are a couple different one's, but I would assume the one's for the 318 with stock socket style terminals. By the way, I have a 1995 witht he 318. Sorry for all the dumb questions, just curious. Thanks again.

i believe that platinum plugs are not recommended with msd and accel ignition systems, maybe i'm wrong. I use accel 8.8 mm wires and love em.

I had heard that too, but after talking to people who have used platinum plugs with MSD ignitions for years with no problems, I figured that it was just a rumor someone came up with.

The 8.5mm. They should be made specifically for your truck.

From looking at MSD's website, I think that I would have to order the one's for the 1994-2000 Rams with the 318/360. Thanks for all your guys' help.

CHECK YOUR MSD INSTALL BOOK IT SAYS RIGHT THERE NOT TO USE PLATINUM PLUGS WITH THEIR SYSTEM.
HOW ARE YOU ADJUSTING THE GAP ON THESE NON ADJUSTABLE PLUGS ANYWAY?

Now that is a good question, I guess my answer is that I never adjusted the gap once I installed the MSD 6a.

Good Point, I guess I'll have to dump my Bosch Platinum +4 for a set of Autolites. For a 1995 with the 318 should I use the 3923 or the 3924? Thanks for opening my eyes.

Since your'e talking about Bosch Platinum 4's, are they better than the Autolite 3923's? And what's with gapping them .005-.010 more?

Should answer most questions. Bigger gap for hotter spark produced by MSD unit. As far as Bosch being better than Autolite, personal preference, but if using the MSD if I remember right it says right in the install manual not to use the platinum plugs do to a resistance issue.
