Thumbs down MSD Wires

I have always run factory honda ignition untill recently. When i upgraded to an MSD i figured i would also upgrade the wires. Well i had been told in the past of problems with msd wires poping off the distributor. You would figure it wouldnt be a problem anymore or it would be fixed. Guess not. Every time i have driven my car i have had to plug in at least one wire back into the distributor. They dont totally fall of but loose that tight conection. I'm very dissapointed with this. Concidering going back to factory wires. I have seen them on plenty of race cars and they work. Funny how certain parts always break but the design never gets changed.

ron i had the same shit, and if you get any type of wheel hop in between gears they come off fast as hell huh???

what i did was put some small clamps on the wires to hold them on the dizzy, i also used zipties!!!!

i had a real prob with the terminal corroding, so i went with some NGK blue series and have had zero problems, love em.......like 45.00$

Im still running OEM Honda wires on my car, and have yet to have a problem... They are pretty much tried and true, and I have seen them on countless high horsepower hondas, so I know they support some serious spark....
