Re: Are these the right wires...

There was a GREAT debate over sparkplug wires here over a month ago. Those look like Sierra part numbers. If that is what their cross reference calls for, then yes either one will work. Sierra wire are supposed to be "marine" approved (?).<br /><br />Personally I went with 8MM ACCEL wires. But that opens up the ole can-o-worms all over again. ;)
