and some new "performance" spark plugs.

Is there anything better to buy with $80?

they flow quite a spark according to "150ohms per foot"

do your research by resistance... not the brand or the price.

BTW those are a good set.

all you need to do is find the set that flows the most electricity (basically the lowest ohms)

Actually that is a pretty good deal at 8mm diameter.
I purchased some autolites at Kragen and they costed 79.99 for 7mm.
Boy do I feel stupid now.
Nice find.....

Don't forget with those wires get good plugs like NGK platinums, or Bosch Platinums, car will run really smooth and slightly better gas mileage

take out your timing chain guides, it's the new craze. Put your fart power on with an Exhaust, Air intake, maybe just a plain ol' tune up.

Whats wrong with an intake? You dont live in Cali, so you could make your own short ram for like 30 bucks. As for an Exhaust...Dont skimp on that or it will sound like trash....

If you really work for ebay then you could probably find a cheap one.
