I think if you only have 25 hrs on the engine then your very first trip is not
going to give you moisture problems.
While I wholeheartedly recommend you convert to auto plugs I do not think you need
to hurry up and do it now. Run out the plugs you have and then do the conversion
at your first condition (annual) inspection.
I used Dennis's kit. Was easy, works great and after a year of flying no problems.

I agree with Milt. I ran my Russian stock wires and plugs for a number of years
without a problem. That said, when I had a problem it was with the wires and
it was one big pain in the tail. That is something no one really reports on
because Dennis's kit just does not seem to fail. Oh, I am sure it eventually
will. All spark plug wires go bad eventually... no matter how good they are.
But here's the thing... troubleshooting and replacing a bad wire with the automotive
conversion is DEAD SIMPLE. Not the case with the original system.
Replacing a wire in the original shielded harness can be a major undertaking,
depending on which wire is bad. Also pulling a new wire through can also cause
ADDITIONAL failures.
