    Stock 98 cobra timing curve

    Been datalogging my 98 cobra, 100% stock vehicle, check out the timing transition at 5200.... drops down to 19ish degrees (green trace). Annoyingly I can't find a way to datalog any working knock retard on this car.... Anyone have the stock timing map to look at? Does your 96-98 cobro do this?

    What plug wires?

    Just picked up a 98 cobra, having some misfire issues... it has ford racing plug wires on it, who knows how old, have heard some complaints about them.... Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of options for alternatives tho? Basically just MSD or small core NGKs (8mm). What does everyone use?
