Is this for the V-6? I called around, and I ended up paying about $150.00
for the set.

Blaufergnugen had them for $134.95, plus S&H. I proceeded to order them, but
after six weeks of getting the big runaround, I cancelled my order. I was
able to get the exact same (OEM) set at Pep Boys, as a special order, in two
days!!

FWIW, no more Blau for me....

Yeah, I thought $40.00 for one wire at the dealer was outrageous. But... of
course, I was on vacation (back home in New England) at the time, 7 hours
away, so I let them put the one wire in....
