MSD Spark Plug Wire Set P/N:5540
MSD 31179 spark plug wire set for the 1983-1998 Ford Ranger 2.8L / 2.9L / 3.0L / 4.0L and other vehicles gives you universal MSD IGNITION spark plug wires that you cut and route your own way, away from headers and through separators to the distributor cap.
Worn wires can show up as a misfire, rough idle or hard starting, though worn plugs, a cap or a coil can produce a similar misfire. With the engine off and cool, look over the old wires for cracked boots, burn marks or chafed insulation before you decide to replace them.
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Chevrolet and Buick models, including the 1961-1973 Chevrolet Impala 3.8L / 4.1L and the 2005-2007 Buick LaCrosse 3.8L, and each vehicle takes one set.
