These are the Ford Performance High Performance 9 millimeter Spark Plug Wires in red for the '79 to
'95 5.0L and 5.8L Mustang.
Spark Plug Wires are a common upgrade on the Pushrod 5.0L. They're easy to do and essential
for a well-running car.
They can also add a touch of color or a clean look under the hood.
This kit from Ford Performance is a popular kit at a very affordable price.
These have fixed 90-degree boots and they're an upgrade over the factory wires all for
about 40 bucks.
The install for these is easy.
It's a one-out-of-three wrenches on the difficulty meter and it will take you about half an hour
to get on the car.
So how are these an upgrade over the factory spark plug wires?
They deliver more spark.
They have a low resistance conductor, so they lose less spark as it travels through the
wire.
They're also larger than the factory wires are.
These are 9mm wires and if you compare these to the stock wires, you're gonna see that
they're beefier for sure.
Internally, Ford Performance uses a wire that's wrapped with a blue silicone insulation and
a wire round conductor.
Keeping up on your ignition parts like your coils, spark plug wires, cap and rotor and
spark plugs is always important but especially so in the older 5.0L. If one piece of the
ignition puzzle is fizzing out or needs replacement, then the whole system suffers and you'll notice
it when you're driving.
These wires are a direct performance replacement.
That means that they're a direct replacement for the stock wires but they're higher performance
than the stock wires are.
So they're an upgrade.
Even if you weren't looking for a high-performance upgrade, these are still a good stock replacement.
You won't be messing anything up by adding a higher output wire to your system, so this,
really, is a good option for anyone looking to replace their spark plug wires.
I will say that when you're looking over your car for a tune-up, they should keep in mind
these other items that I just mentioned.
If you're looking for new spark plug wires, it's a really good idea to replace the cap
and rotor while you're at it since that isn't expensive to do.
You're also gonna wanna check out your coil, too.
If you're having trouble with your car currently, it's a good idea to just replace all of these
things in one shot.
If your car has old components that aren't working that well, you're gonna notice a big
difference in how the car runs.
The install for these is easy.
It's straightforward and it's only gonna take about a half an hour to do.
All right, guys.
So the first thing you're gonna wanna do is pop your hood and the Ford Performance wires
are labeled one through eight so you know exactly which cylinder each spark plug wire
goes to, but I'm gonna show you how to do this install one by one.
That way you don't take any chances of connecting a spark plug wire in the wrong area, therefore,
causing a lot of issues when you go to start your car.
All right, guys.
So we are gonna do each spark plug wire one by one just so we don't have any mistakes
and we make sure everything's lined up properly.
We're gonna start right here at cylinder number one.
I'm gonna disconnect this spark plug wire at the spark plug and then come up here and
disconnect it at the cap.
You'll hear a clicking noise or a popping noise and the same thing goes for when you
go to install your new wire.
You're gonna wanna just press until you feel it pop into place.
All right.
So each of the Ford Performance Spark Plug Wires are labeled.
You can see the number right here.
They're labeled number one through eight, so you know exactly which cylinder each wire
belongs.
All right, guys.
So we're halfway done now.
We're gonna move over to the other side and start with cylinder number five.
So we have all eight cylinder wires on.
Now we just need to do our coil wire.
All right, guys.
So I have all of the wires ran now.
At this point, everything is loosely run.
You can go back in if you want to and arrange your wires, just make them look nicer and
get them up off of your valve covers if you want and away from any other hot components.
That's gonna cover things for the Ford Performance 9 millimeter Spark Plug Wires for the '79 to '95 5.0L
and 5.8L Mustang.
