Well, out today, just going fast at full throttle, I had a mis-fire.

Misfire Cylinder 3
Misfire Cylinder 10

what is cylinder 10 ? Looks like I have to change plugs.

When are ignition wires supposed to go bad ?

If it's been over 70k miles since you replaced wires, I'd say it's time even though I believe they are supposed to last 100k. Plugs and cap/rotor wouldn't hurt to replace at the same time. Sparks should be replaced twice if not more as often as cap/rotor

P.S. Nice–looking car, by the way
