Fire up crisp, high-energy spark delivery with the ACCEL SuperStock Spark Plug Wire Set 4040, a universal-fit 8mm set built to upgrade an OE ignition system for street-driven V8 applications. It's cataloged for a huge V8 lineup — including the 1966-1969 American Motors Ambassador [V8-4.7L], 1970-1974 American Motors Javelin [V8-5.0L], 1973-1975 Buick Apollo [V8-5.7L], and 1981-1989 Buick Electra [V8-5.0L], plus hundreds more; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. Covers both pre- and post-HEI vehicles.

  • SuperStock 4000 construction: a 450°F-rated high-gloss silicone jacket is extruded over a tightly woven, rugged fiberglass braid, applied over high-dielectric-strength EPDM inner insulation for performance that exceeds SAE specifications.
  • Carbon graphite core: delivers high-spark output while providing RFI suppression for street-driven applications.
  • Stainless steel plug terminals with straight silicone boots that meet or exceed OE ratings.
  • Yellow high-strength fiberglass braid with custom-fit universal and import coverage.

Worn or cracked plug wires can cause misfires, rough idle, and hard starts; if failed wires are the cause, this set replaces them. Resistance meets or exceeds OE. Country of origin: China.
