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.
