If Taylor made custom sets I'd consider that.
Oh, yes, by all means, Taylor does make a set for Dodge and, you'll have to call them in order to get the right set pre-made.

But, I called and ordered a set for a buddy and, they are not the new style, low ohm, race wires but, the old style, higher ohm style that they recommend. Their ends are nice too. They make good wires. Not as good as Mags but, many prefer them over MSDs.

I have the pre made set of Taylors for my 360. I bought them off Summit Racing for about $45 a few years ago and I haven't had any problems.

I have the custom high energy wireset from Taylor. They were like $90 shipped. I am really happy with them....HUGE improvement over the Mopar set.

I had Taylors on my old Ramcharger, and they replaced a very crappy set of Accel wires, which you could NOT pay me to run again.
Again, thanks for the good info.

Edit: Did a quick search and found these on Jegs... will these work?

LOL, those are for hi compression engines that run hi octane, top fuel, hi heat and lots of HP! Way overkill for what your driving! Could have gone with Magnecors for less and got a much better wire to boot!

A good set of 8MMs are all you really need, even for high output coils, top quality 8MMs will handle the voltage just fine- handles 45KV I believe without issue.

PS: whatever happened with your fuel rails? Never heard back on what the end result / decision was.

What brand of wires were you running that melted? What's the voltage output of the ignition system coil- 45KV or, are you running a capacitor setup and increased beyond that?
