Default Spark Plug Wire question

Howdy,

Well I'm a about to do a valve adjustment on my stock b16, and a friend recommended to change the spark plug wires.

Well the spark plug wires that are on it look good to me, but if it matters that much, I'm fixing to buy a pair.

Since I have a stock b16, I don't need to buy performance (MSD) spark plug wires, on a stock distributor right?

And if thats so, the question is what do you guys think of the Duralast Spark Plug Wire set from Autozone? Lifetime warranty, and cheap. Theres also Valuecraft $4's more, but its not like my b16 is suped up or anything.

Let me know what ya think

Duralast ones are good enough and at a low price you can afford to change them more often, with newer diagnostic techniques, it has been proven that higher resistance in plug wires, as long as they are not broken internally or leaking externally, has practically no effect on the strength of spark in the cylinder.

So a cheap but good wire set is as good as a high dollar set, they may just not last as long, its a tune up item so change them for preventive MX, a leaky wire later can fry a coil.
