MAX-FIRE SPARK PLUG WIRES FROM EDELBROCK

Edelbrock is excited to introduce Max-Fire ® Ultra- Spark ® performance spark plug wires for V8 engines .
Max-Fire Ultra-Spark performance spark plug wires are manufactured in the USA from highest quality materials to help deliver maximum voltage – ensuring the ultimate performance for engine output . These wires have an extremely high EMI / RFI suppression along with a very low resistance to help deliver the most spark possible . They feature a heavy duty 8.5mm diameter silicone jacket to protect the Kevlar spiral wound core from heat , moisture and chemicals .
Max-Fire offers two levels of spark plug wires ; Ultra-Spark 500 and Ultra-Spark 50 . Ultra-Spark 500 is a great choice for replacing OEM wires and are value priced . They feature high quality leads that deliver 500 ohms of EMI / RFI noise suppression with low resistance . They are ideal for daily drivers and for budget builds , offering the best combination of value and performance . Ultra-Spark 50 spark plug wires are engineered for high performance engines that need all of the voltage they can get for maximum power output . They are made with wire leads that deliver a low 50 ohms of resistance per-foot for maximum EMI / RFI noise suppression . This makes them ideal for engines with aftermarket high performance upgrades that require maximum voltage . Visit the Edelbrock website here for application chart .
Max-Fire ® Universal spark plug wire sets feature the same high quality as our model specific sets , but give the user the flexibility to tailor them to fit their V8 application perfectly .
Each kit has the spark plug boot pre-installed from the factory and is available in straight or 90 ° boots . The straight boot sets are a “ Vari-Angle ” boot . This allows the boots to be bent and hold their position in tight areas to clear headers . They include early
OEM socket style and late style HEI plug distributor terminals . They are available in both performance levels ; Ultra-Spark 500 and Ultra-Spark 50 .
Each kit includes 8 spark plug wires ( varying lengths ), points style terminals , HEI plug style terminals , straight distributor boots , 90 ° distributor boots , distributor to coil wire , dielectric grease and installation instructions . Will require the use of a wire crimping tool to complete the installation .
Features Include :
• 8.5mm diameter reduces voltage leak for improved performance over smaller diameter designs
• Features a spiral wound Ferro-magnetic Kevlar core that creates an effective EMI choke , along with high dielectric strength inner insulation
• Silicone jacket is chemical resistant and won ’ t crack or shrink when exposed to extreme temperatures
