plug wires worth a $#!T?

so their wires aren't any better than their plugs, huh?
how bout the Moroso's I asked about? Alot of guys at the other /6 site, like the Magnecor ones but last I looked they're nuts on pricing..... I have a new set of Borg Warner somethin or other for it sitting here and Im sure they'll do "for now" but if I can find something better I'm up for it.
On my last /6 pickup, I had a weird issue with plug wires, and have never seen again since on anything else. I came home from work one nite, hit the shower and tried to leave to "go out" with my then girlfriend/now wife.. Crank, and crank, and crank/ and nothing... it had just run fine like a 1/2 hour before/ once it got almost dark I saw a spark jump from one of my wires to of all places, a heater hose/ Rubber hose... HOW? I have heard of watching under the hood after dark for bad wires of course.... but for (I think it was the coil wire, been many years ago) to short out along its mid section, to a RUBBER HOSE? Can you say "WTF"?
