Dont know about them on the rex, but my buddy has them on his big block Chevelle. He seems to like them.

Im sure there better than OEM, almost anything is.

Thats what Im running on my car.. No problems here...

I got several V8 friends running them, a 4x4 chevy with a 502 , putting down about 550 ft pounds of torque. A friend with a s-10 built to the hilt with about anything you can imagine, and another friend with a chevette (big block under hood, I **** you not-tubbed and all, tube chassis etc) and they all were running them, so I said why the hell not

FUnless you're making something like 500hp...every brand of plug wires will perform the same. Its really just making sure they are functioning correctly(not old and brittle), if they are, you're set.

The 30 dollar price tag and the color choices made them sweet and attractive to me

Error,

Taylor is actually in the Kansas City area, but I don't think they sell direct. Call KC Raceware (816) 257-7305. They'll set you up.

Got mine from www.Summitracing.com , they were like 36 bucks , ask for the 4 cylinder kit. They will ask you if you want 90 degree or 180 degree bends abd the color

Get a crimping tool for doing spark plugs wires and your all set.
