I myself would be comfortable doing such things.  however it is quite 
apparent that many on the list are not.  take the original poster for example.  he 
tried to save a few bucks by buying some plug wires that MIGHT work and they 
obviously didn't.  i think it's too easy to forget that the majority of owners on 
here are not very mechanically or automotive inclined.  i met quite a few at 
pigeon forge.  for some, it may not be a problem - but if in doubt, the 
vendors are the only way to go, both for quality and convenience.  Bill Robertson 
with his water pump post is a good example of how SOME people can pull it off.  
many can't.
