They still have the article on their website when I looked over the summer.
It's under the heading "The truth about spark plug wires and advertising" or
something like that.  I don't recall if they name Nology directly.

I have Magnecor on both my Verde and Spider.  I'm very happy with them.  The
Magencor's are less expensive from Bruce's Parts Bin (where I bought both
sets) than the usual parts sources want for stock wires.   No interference
problems.   I use the 7.5mm blue on the Spider which is slightly modified
and the red 8.5mm on the Verde which is heavily modified.

No financial connection to BPB, just a satisfied customer.
