Available in two levels of performance—Ultra-Spark 50 (50 ohms resistance/foot) and Ultra-Spark 500 (500 ohms resistance/foot)—the all-new universal high-performance Max-Fire ignition wires from Edelbrock feature the same high quality as the company’s model-specific sets, but give users the ability to tailor them to fit their V8 applications.

These wires have extremely high EMI/RFI suppression along with a very low resistance to help deliver the most spark possible. Their heavy-duty 8.5 mm diameter silicone jackets protect the Kevlar spiral-wound cores from heat, moisture, and chemicals. Preinstalled spark plug boots are available in straight or 90° versions. The straight-boot sets are “vari-angle,” meaning they can be bent and hold their position in tight areas to clear headers. They also include early-OEM socket style and late-style HEI plug distributor terminals.

Each Edelbrock Max-Fire kit includes eight spark plug wires (of varying lengths), eleven points-style terminals, eleven HEI plug–style terminals, nine straight distributor boots, nine 90° distributor boots, one distributor-to-coil wire, dielectric grease, and installation instructions. Installation requires the use of a wire-crimping tool.

Features

  • Available in 50 ohm and 500 ohm resistance/foot.
  • Heavy-duty 8.5 mm diameter silicone jackets.
  • Kevlar spiral-wound core.
  • Spark plug boots available in straight or 90°.
  • Early OEM socket style and late-style HEI plug distributor terminals included.

The EX9 Snell SA2015–rated full-face-helmet is the composite offering from the premium end of the G-FORCE Racing Gear helmet lineup. The Strategically Reinforced Composite (SRC) shell is coated with glossy white or black paint and polished with multiple layers of clear coating for a shine like no other. Across the chin bar and crown are the stainless grill guards of the Siphon12 Ventilation Network, eight intake ports and four rearward exhaust ports that move out heated air. A rubber gasket lines the bottom of the helmet, facilitating use with a helmet skirt, support, or restraining device.

The EX9 includes an optically corrected clear view shield, with tinted shields available and changeable on the spot thanks to hex-head bolts made from aircraft-grade aluminum.

The interior of the G-FORCE Racing Gear EX9 helmet has a multiple-density, Conehead Technology impact liner able to react to various impact situations: in response to an impact, the liner compresses laterally, spreading the load to absorb the force. A padded, soft-knit, hypoallergenic, and flame-retardant liner offers unmatched comfort and fit.

Features

  • Snell SA2015 rated.
  • Glossy Strategically Reinforced Composite (SRC) shell.
  • Internal ventilation ports.
  • Optically corrected view shield (tints available).
